Taehun Lee Overtakes Only if Ok Taehoon Finishes Below 18th Place
The Korean Professional Golf Association (KPGA) Tour's prize money king will be determined in the final event.
On November 6, the final event of the 2025 season, the KPGA Tour Championship, will be held at Teddy Valley Golf & Resort (Par 72, 7,259 yards) in Seogwipo, Jeju. The total prize money is 1.1 billion won. The tournament will be played as a 72-hole, four-round stroke play event. There will be no cut.

Currently, Ok Taehoon leads the prize money rankings, having accumulated 1,069,647,495 won. In second place is Taehun Lee (Canada), who has earned 863,381,126 won. The gap between Ok Taehoon and Taehun Lee is 206,267,369 won. The winner of this event will receive 220 million won, the runner-up will get 110 million won, third place will receive 66 million won, and fourth place will be awarded 52.8 million won.
Ok Taehoon holds the advantage. However, the prize money king has not yet been decided. The top spot in the prize money rankings will be determined by the final event's results. There is only one scenario in which Taehun Lee can claim the prize money king title: if Taehun Lee wins this tournament and Ok Taehoon finishes below 18th place, then Taehun Lee will become number one in the prize money rankings.

Ok Taehoon is also aiming to set a new record for the highest single-season earnings, in addition to securing the top spot in the prize money rankings. The all-time record for the highest single-season earnings is 1,129,047,083 won, set by Jang Yubin in 2024. Ok Taehoon is 59,399,588 won short of this record. If Ok Taehoon finishes tied for third place (with two or fewer players tied) or higher at the KPGA Tour Championship, he will set a new record for the highest single-season earnings in KPGA Tour history.
