Representatives of the KLPGA Tour, such as Lee So-mi and Lim Hee-jung, will participate in the European Women’s Tour (LET) Aramco Saudi Ladies International this week in Saudi Arabia.
They will start earning foreign currency in this tournament, which will be held at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club (par 72, 6295 yards) in King Abdullah Economic City, Saudi Arabia for four days from the 16th (Korean time). Sponsored by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund (PIF), this year’s total prize money has increased five times compared to last year. The total prize money is 5 million dollars (approximately 6.4 billion won), and the winning prize reaches 750,000 dollars (approximately 959 million won). 바카라사이트
From the perspective of KLPGA tour players, if they win the cup, they can reap the harvest for the year at once. If you win the prize money, you will earn a lot of money comparable to the season prize money (1,082.5 million won) of Kim Su-ji, who was second in the KLPGA Tour prize money rankings last year. In addition, even if you are in the ‘Top 10’, you can receive about 100,000 dollars (about 127 million won), and even if you are in the last place, you can receive 16,000 dollars (about 20 million won) to pay for participation expenses.
The large number of KLPGA Tour players is participating because 50 players within the top 300 in the world rankings are included in the qualification. Lee So-mi (44th), Lim Hee-jeong (57th), Hong Jeong-min (75th), Jung Yun-ji (77th), Lim Jin-hee (93rd), Song Ga-eun (107th), Jo Ah-yeon (111th), Seong Yu-jin (120th), Ha Min-song Thirteen people, including Hwang Jeong-mi (140th), Hong Ji-won (176th), Lee Seung-yeon (183rd), and Hwang Yoo-min (277th), were listed in the entry with this rule. Most of them, who are training in Southeast Asia, boarded a plane to Saudi Arabia, as the competition venue is not far from the Jeonhunji and the prize money is very large.
A large number of players from the LPGA Tour will also participate in this event. Jeon In-ji (8th), Kim Hyo-joo (9th), Kim A-lim (47th), Yoo Hae-ran (51st), Ji Eun-hee (54th), Shin Ji-eun (98th), and Lee Jeong-eun 5 (180th) will advance to the 2023 Immediately after the start of the season, she will participate in the Honda LPGA Thailand and HSBC Women’s World Championships, two LPGA tour events held in Thailand and Singapore, for three consecutive weeks.
The competition for the 22 Korean Sisters is formidable. World No. 1 Lydia Ko (New Zealand), No. 4 Ataya Titicun (Thailand), No. 7 Lexi Thompson (USA), No. 10 Hataoka Nasa (Japan), No. 14 Lin Siyu (China), and No. 17 Daniel Kang (USA), 19th place Hannah Green (Australia), and other strong players will participate. I am interested in how well the Korean Sisters will perform against them in the New Year’s Middle East expedition.
