South Korea's women's golf team did not secure a medal at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, marking the first time in history that the team has failed to win a medal at the event.
On October 3, Yang Yoon-seo shot a final round of 2-under-par 68 at the Tokoname Course in Aichi Prefecture, finishing the individual competition with a total score of 7-under-par 273, placing fourth overall.
Her teammate Park Seo-jin finished in a tie for 15th place with a total score of 3-over-par 283, while Kim Gyu-bin placed 21st with a score of 9-over-par 289.
In the team event, which combines the scores of the two best-performing players, South Korea also finished joint fourth with a total score of 7-under-par 553. This is the first time South Korea's women's golf team has not won a medal at the Asian Games since the sport was officially included in the 1990 Beijing Games, where they have won medals in every subsequent event up to the 2023 Hangzhou Games.
This marks only the second time South Korea has missed out on an individual medal, the first being at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Games.
The gold medal in the individual competition was claimed by India's Pranavi Sharan Urs, who finished with a total score of 15-under-par 265, while the team gold went to China with a score of 22-under-par 538.
