Taegeuk Women, who are on the stage of the U.S. Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour, will try to win their second championship of the Korean season in Singapore.
The HSBC Women's World Championship (total prize money of $2.4 million), the fourth LPGA Tour tournament of the 2025 season, will be held on the 27th (Korea time) at the Tanjong course of the Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore.
The LPGA, which started with the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions in late January, will be followed by the Founders Cup in February, followed by the "Asian Swing" Honda Thailand and the HSBC Women's World Championship.
In Korea, 10 players, including Ko Jin-young, Kim Hyo-joo, Kim A-rim (30), Yang Hee-young (36), and Yoo Hae-ran (24), will participate.
The Taegeuk Women's Corps had its most quiet season since 2011 with only three wins last year (Yang Hee-young, Yoo Hae-ran, and Kim A-rim).
This year, however, she got off to a good start. Kim achieved wire-to-wire victory in the opening game (the victory she garnered without giving up first place from the first round to the final round), and Ko Jin-young continued her momentum as she ranked second at the Founders Cup.
Taegeuk Women are once again aiming to conquer the LPGA. In particular, it is expected that Kim A-rim, who has been on the rise since winning the opening game, will perform well.
Kim A-rim has continued her good senses since the end of last year.
Having won her second career LPGA Tour title in about four years at the Lotte Championship in November, she earned her third victory at the Hilton Grand Venations Tournament of Champions in two months.
After charging for about a month, Kim Arim was once again listed in the top 10 as the final sixth in the Honda Thailand.
Kim A-rim, who has the most momentum among Korean players recently, is aiming for her fourth career victory in this competition.
◇ Ko Jin-young, who found "Promised Land," is also a strong favorite
Ko Jin-young is also maintaining a good trend as she finished fourth in the opening game and finished second in the Founders Cup.
He seems to have completely recovered from his chronic wrist injury. He tied for 45th at the Honda Thailand Championship, but is satisfied that he is still playing without injury.
In particular, Ko Jin-young has won the HSBC Women's World Championship twice in 2022 and 2023. Singapore is the "land of promise." Attention is also focusing on whether Ko Jin-young will be able to win the tournament for the third time and 16th in her career.
Yoo Hae-ran, ranked 7th in the world, and Yang Hee-young, ranked 12th, are also candidates who can seek to win at any time. 메이저사이트
Among the foreign players, defending champion Hanner Green (Australia), Gino Thitikul (Thailand), Honda Thailand winner Angel (USA), No. 3 Lydia Ko (New Zealand), and No. 4 In Luoning (China) are considered strong contenders.
