The final match 'KPGA Tour Championship in JEJU', which will mark the finale of the KPGA Tour in the 2025 season, will be held at Teddy Valley Golf and Resort Valley in Seogwipo, Jeju for four days from the 6th to the 9th.
'KPGA Tour Championship in JEJU' is worth 1.1 billion won in total prize money. The prize money is 220 million won. The game method is a 72-hole stroke play in the fourth round, and the cutoff is not performed. The winner will be given two years of tour seed and 1,000 Genesis points. 'Defending champion' is Lee Dae-han.
In this competition, players who are included in the top 70 Genesis points, not the seed priority, which is the existing KPGA Tour participation category, will be eligible to participate. A total of 64 players are on the list of participants.
First, Ok Tae-hoon, the No. 1 Genesis point winner, Taehoon Lee, the No. 2 Genesis point winner, Kim Baek-joon, the No. 3 Genesis point winner, Choi Jin-ho, the No. 4 Genesis point winner, and Bae Yong-joon, the No. 5 Genesis point TOP 5, and Park Joon-seop, Kim Sang-hyun, Jung Jae-hyun, and Kim Bong-seop, who dramatically entered the top 70 Genesis points last week at the '2025 Lexus Masters', will also participate.
In addition, after this competition, season titles such as Genesis Point TOP10 and 'Deokchun Award (lowest at-bats award)' and 'Long-Hitting Award' will be decided, so fierce competition among top-ranked players in each category is also expected.
Among the season's titles, the 'Excellence Award (New Award)', which can be won only once in a lifetime, was won by Thailand's Sadom Enlightenment Jana, and the top spot in the TOP10 finish was decided by Ok Tae-hoon, who entered the TOP10 for 10 times in 19 competitions this season.
Meanwhile, this is the first time that the KPGA Tour tournament will be held at Teddy Valley Golf & Resort. Teddy Valley Golf & Resort will hold the 'KPGA Tour Championship' from this season to 2029.
Teddy Valley Golf & Resort has been closed since the 3rd, three days before the opening of the tournament, setting up a course so that participants can play in their best condition.
Teddy Valley Golf & Resort Vice Chairman Kim Min said, `The first reason why we hosted the tournament with a long-term contract for five years is that we want to contribute to the revival of the popularity of the KPGA Tour.'`I also want to solidify Jeju's image again with the best course as Jeju, once called the `Golf Heaven`, seems to be losing its status."
"We plan to do our best to increase the symbolism that the 'KPGA Tour Championship' for five years will mark the season finale of the KPGA Tour."To strengthen the franchise of the KPGA Tour and the 'KPGA Tour Championship', we will create a place of harmony and synergy by attracting sponsorship and cooperation from our golf course and Jeju companies." This tournament will draw attention as a win-win model aimed at simultaneously taking a new leap forward in the KPGA Tour and revitalizing the Jeju golf industry."
