Minsol Kim has tied for the most wins on the Dream (second-tier) Tour of the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA).
On June 25, at the final round of the KLPGA 2025 Muan CC·All For You Dream Tour Round 8 (total prize money: 70 million won), held at Muan Country Club in Jeonnam (par 72, 6,562 yards), Kim carded a 3-under-par 69 to finish tied with Jiyu Lim at 9-under-par 135. She then secured victory with a 3-meter birdie on the first playoff hole, the 18th (par 5).

This marked her third win on the Dream Tour this year, earning her a winner's prize of 10.5 million won. Kim is now tied for the most wins with Yuna Hwang (48,771,667 won), and she ranks second on the prize money list with 39,952,167 won.
Kim said, "I'm really happy to win once again," adding, "My putting was strong in this tournament, which allowed me to win. The wind was strong and there was rain in the forecast, so I paid special attention to calculating putting distances. I also tried not to leave myself long putts, which led to good results." She continued, "I was nervous to face Jiyu Lim, whom I played with as a national team member at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games team event. Since we know each other's playing styles well, it was a bit of pressure, but I tried to focus on my own game."
Seulgi Lee finished third (7-under-par 137), while Chaerim Lee and Wongyeong Noh shared fourth place (5-under-par 139). Yuna Hwang finished tied for 36th (even-par 144). The tournament was co-hosted by Muan CC and Hansung F&I All For You, and organized by the KLPGA.
