KLPGA Holds Youth Golf Volunteer Clinic With 2025 Money Leader Hong Jeong-min

The Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association, or KLPGA, said it held its volunteer talent-sharing program, "KLPGA with YOU," on April 14 at Gamsung Elementary School in Sejong City with Hong Jeong-min, last season’s money leader.

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."
