Park Min-ji received good news. This is because the hosting of the 'Celltrion Queen's Masters' has been confirmed.
KLPGA officially announced on the 23rd that 'Celltrion Queens Masters' will be held in the gate of Wonju, Gangwon-do for three days from June 6.
Celltrion struggled to hold this year's competition. Many companies have given up or agonized over hosting the tournament due to the judgment that the effect on hosting the golf tournament is insignificant amid the recession.
But Celltrion changed its mind and decided to hold the competition. The reason why attention is paid to this competition is that Park Min-ji's first-ever attempt to win five consecutive single competitions is possible.
Park Min-ji took the throne of the tournament for four consecutive years from 2021 to 2024. Whether it was a prime season or a slump, this tournament belonged to Park Min-ji. Park Min-ji is also the only one to record four consecutive wins in a single tournament. Six people hold the record for the third consecutive win.
Park Min-ji said, `It is not easy for the same competition to be held every year, so I am happy and honored just to be able to challenge for the fifth consecutive victory. I sincerely thank Celltrion Chairman Seo Jeong-jin for confirming the hosting"Challenge is always meaningful. Now that I can try to win five consecutive games, I'll try to win the championship with all my concentration," he added.
In addition, 'OK Savings Bank Etonman Open', which was held at 800 million won last year, confirmed the total prize money to 1 billion won, an increase of 200 million won, and joined the competition with more than 1 billion won. The KLPGA Tour in the 2025 season will be held with a total prize money of about 32.7 billion won and an average prize money of about 1.09 billion won, with more than 1 billion won increasing to 27 out of 30 competitions, accounting for 90% of the total competitions.
In response, KLPGA Chairman Kim Sang-yeol said, `I would like to express my infinite gratitude to Celltrion for confirming the hosting of the tournament even in difficult times and OK Savings Bank for increasing the prize money.' adding, `As the 2025 KLPGA regular tour has been held more abundant and grand, KLPGA will also do its best to successfully host the tournament.'
