Genesis Championship: Five things to know
There is plenty to play for as the final regular event of the season sees the DP World Tour visit South Korea for the Genesis Championship.
Since the DP World Tour's Korea Championship and the KPGA TOUR’s Genesis Championship merged to become co-sanctioned as the Genesis Championship in 2024, it has been a case of double delight for golfers from South Korea. Following on from Byeong Hun An's success two years ago, it was Junghwan Lee who triumphed 12 months ago as he became a DP World Tour winner for the first time. Four shots behind joint leaders Mikael Lindberg and Nacho Elvira going into the final round, Lee recovered from bogeying the second to card the lowest round of the tournament with a seven-under-par 64 to claim a three-shot victory. With it, Lee earned DP World Tour membership and a place at the Abu Dhabi Championship. This week will see him make his 22nd start of the 2026 season, his first full campaign on golf's global tour. While he is without a top ten to his name, he is assured of his playing rights on next year's Race to Dubai through his winner's category and will attempt to become the first player in tournament history to successfully defend his title. There are 39 players from South Korea teeing it up, headlined by recent Presidents Cup teammates Si Woo Kim and Sungjae Im as they look add DP World Tour glory to their CVs. Shin Sang-hun, who leads the KPGA's order of merit, is also among those home players in action.
