KLPGA with YOU is run for schools that received support through the KLPGA’s "Youth Golf Environment Project," which helps establish practice facilities and provides donated golf equipment.
Hong, who won three titles on the 2025 KLPGA regular tour and finished as both the money leader and co-leader in wins, gave a special lesson to 20 students at the event.
"At first I was nervous and worried because I was thinking about teaching youth students who are the future of Korean golf," Hong said. "They followed what I taught well and learned with passion, so I had a great time. I hope today helps them become more interested in golf. I will attend these meaningful events more often."
The KLPGA said it is also working to broaden youth participation through programs including the "KLPGA Volunteer Talent Group," the "KLPGA Kidz Golf Camp" and the "Youth Golf Environment Project." It also said it is helping identify promising players by hosting events such as the "KLPGA President’s Cup Women’s Amateur Golf Championship" and the "KLPGA-Samchully Together Dream Tree Tournament."
