Leading by Pak Se-ri, who won the most wins (25 wins) for Koreans in the LPGA, it is evaluated as a prestigious tournament that has produced world-class players such as Ko Jin-young, Kim Mi-hyeon, Park Seong-hyeon, Ryu So-yeon, Kim Hyo-joo, and Park In-bee. Male players also produced top-notch stars such as Kim Si-woo, Bae Sang-moon, Ahn Byung-hun, Noh Seung-yeol (above the US Professional Golf Tour), and Seo Yo-seop. zzang@sportsseoul.com
