At the beginning of this year, KLPGA set the goal of "qualitative improvement of member benefits" and focused on expanding partnerships with golf courses and driving ranges that members frequently use. Currently, there are a total of 135 companies partnered with KLPGA for member benefits. Golf courses and driving ranges account for the largest share at 25%. This is followed by lodging and medical sectors, which account for 20% and 19%, respectively. Golf equipment and golf apparel are recorded at 8.5% and 8%, respectively. Other categories such as education, beauty, and travel make up 19%.

KLPGA has also provided free educational programs such as qualifications for professional golf instructors to its members. In collaboration with the Korea Golf Driving Range Association (KGCA), it offers employment opportunities at eight driving ranges nationwide and provides discounts on usage fees.

A KLPGA official stated, “We plan to expand partnerships with companies in various regions such as Gangwon, Gyeongsang, Jeolla, Chungcheong, and Jeju so that members can receive benefits outside the metropolitan area.”
