Wang Jeonghun and Kim Youngsoo "Participate in DP World Tour Korea Championship"

Opening on April 27 at Songdo Jack Nicklaus Golf Club
First time in 10 years since the 2013 Valentine Championship

Jung Hoon Wang and Young Soo Kim will participate in the DP World Tour Korea Championship (total prize money of $2 million) held in Korea.

The tournament organizing committee announced on the 30th, "The two players will compete in the DP World Tour Korea Championship held from April 27 to 30 at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Songdo, Incheon." This is the first time in 10 years since the 2013 Ballantine Championship that a DP World Tour event is held domestically. This year, twin golfers from Denmark, Nikolaj and Rasmus Højgaard, Robert MacIntyre (Scotland), and last year's Korean Open champion Min Kyu Kim will participate.

Wang Jeong-hoon will participate in the DP World Tour Korea Championship held in Korea.

Jung Hoon Wang is a player who has won three DP World Tour titles, including back-to-back victories at the 2016 Morocco Trophy Hassan Trophy and Mauritius Open. He won the DP World Tour Rookie of the Year award in 2016 and represented the national team at the Rio Olympics. After being discharged from the military last summer, Wang returned to the European stage. He has shown a clear upward trend, including a tie for 3rd place at last month's Singapore Classic. Wang said, "I am very excited to be able to compete in a DP World Tour event held in my home country," adding, "My condition is quite good early in the season. I want to carry this momentum through to the April tournament."

Young Soo Kim is the 'number one player in Korea,' having won the KPGA Korean Tour Genesis Award last year. He had his best year by winning the Genesis Championship and the final LG Signature Players Championship last season. Kim said, "I am greatly looking forward to meeting domestic fans at the DP World Tour event," and expressed confidence, "Since the tournament is held on the course where I won my first victory last year, I will recall those good memories."
