SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA — September 22, 2026 — Two of South Korea’s most decorated Major champions, Sung Hyun Park and Jeongeun Lee6, will headline a world-class international field arriving in Seoul next month for the 2026 Aramco Korea Championship at New Korea Country Club, taking place October 8–11.
Determined to assert their dominance on home turf in front of passionate local galleries, former Rolex World No. 1 Sung Hyun Park and 2019 U.S. Women’s Open champion Jeongeun Lee6 anchor an exciting domestic charge. The Major-winning duo will be flanked by emerging powerhouse Dongeun Lee, whose breakout season on the KLPGA Tour saw her claim victory against established global heavyweights.
Adding top-tier international firepower to the draw is Japan’s Miyu Yamashita, one of global golf's most relentless ball-strikers, alongside French LET regular Vanessa Bouvet.
The lineup is further solidified by premier Golf Saudi Ambassadors: veteran five-time Ladies European Tour (LET) winner Marianne Skarpnord (NOR), Solheim Cup stalwart and two-time LET winner Alison Lee (USA), Major champion Danielle Kang (USA), Solheim Cup winner Carlota Ciganda (ESP), Anne Van Dam (NED), and Olivia Cowan (GER).
Sanctioned by the LET under the PIF Global Series banner, the 2026 edition reflects a sharpened competitive ethos. The tournament has transitioned into a classical four-day, 72-hole individual stroke play contest offering a US$2 million purse and vital Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings points, cementing its status as an uncompromising crucible for the women's professional game.
Marianne Skarpnord, Five-time LET Winner and Golf Saudi Ambassador, said: "The Aramco Korea Championship has quickly made itself one of the standout weeks on the LET schedule, and playing in front of the Korean galleries is always an incredible experience. As an ambassador, it has been remarkable to see how Golf Saudi’s long-term backing continues to redefine tournament standards and player compensation across the tour. Moving to a 72-hole tournament at New Korea Country Club sets the ultimate standard for professional golf.
Sung Hyun Park said:
"Competing on home soil in South Korea always brings an extra level of focus. Playing in front of Korean galleries adds excitement and intensity and makes me even more focused on my game.
With this year’s Aramco Korea Championship adopting the new 72-hole stroke play format, I expect the competition to be even more intense and closely contested over all four days.
New Korea Country Club is a course that demands precision from the tee, so I’ll need to stay focused and execute my shots carefully throughout the tournament.”
Jeongeun Lee6 said:
"There is a distinctive energy at the Aramco Korea Championship, and having it staged right here at New Korea Country Club gives Korean golf another massive international platform. With a full 72 holes on the line, it is going to reward discipline and consistent shot-making from round one through Sunday. I’m motivated to put on a great performance for our fans."
Beyond the fairways, the Aramco Korea Championship operates as a high-visibility pillar of Golf Saudi’s overarching mandate to institutionalize commercial equity across women's sports. Through sustainable prize fund parity, elevated infrastructure, and high-performance tournament environments, the event demonstrates how strategic capital can create viable long-term pathways for elite female athletes.
Staged in partnership with official host partner KOLON Group, the championship week doubles as a commercial nexus connecting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of Korea. With executive networking forums, bilateral commerce panels, and cultural tourism showcases embedded into tournament week, the event leverages professional sport to spur high-level trade partnerships, investment, and inbound cultural exchange between both nations.
Tickets for the Aramco Korea Championship can be reserved online through HERE.
Both single-day and full-event passes are available, with regular shuttle pick-ups from Samseong Station; schedule available soon.
