The Aramco Korea Championship returns with a star-studded field

The Aramco Korea Championship is back—and it’s bigger, bolder, and boasting one of the strongest fields of the season.

From 9–11 May, the Ladies European Tour (LET) heads to the New Korea Country Club, as the ultra-exclusive venue opens its gates once more for one of the most anticipated stops on the calendar.

Previously part of the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF, this year’s event returns with a new identity, a reimagined format, and a record-breaking $2 million prize fund—the PIF Global Series.

Major winner Danielle Kang, who steered her team to victory in 2024, headlines a stellar line-up that includes former World No.1 and two-time Major champion from South Korea, Sung Hyun Park. They are joined by 2023 LET Order of Merit winner from Thailand, Trichat Cheenglab, and recent LET winners Bronte Law and Shannon Tan, including a host of others from the LPGA and LET.

In a major format shake-up, the event moves to an all-professional team structure. Gone are the amateurs—instead, all 26 teams will feature four professionals, focusing further on elite-level play.

With the action unfolding across three days, with the team event running over the first two rounds and a $500,000 purse up for grabs. The individual competition concludes in round three, where players will battle it out for a bolstered $1.5 million prize fund.

With a top-class field, revamped format, and serious money on the line, the Aramco Korea Championship promises to deliver drama, precision, and world-class golf.
