Sisters Ko Ji-woo (23, Samchully) and Ko Ji-won (21, Samchully) of the KLPGA Tour are sponsored by Japanese companies. The two players signed a sponsorship contract with Hirata Group, a Japanese home appliance and auto parts manufacturer.

Wow Management Group announced in a press release on the 8th that Ko Ji-woo and Ko Ji-won signed a sponsorship contract with Hirata Group.

Under the contract, Ko Ji-woo and Ko Ji-won will attach Hirata Group's logo on the left side of their hats from the 2026 season and travel around the field of domestic and international competitions. Following the sponsorship of Kwon Ki-taek, Ahn Shin-ae, and Park Hyun-kyung, Hirata Group plans to expand global sports marketing through contracts with sisters Ko Ji-woo and Ko Ji-won, and do their best to strengthen cooperation with players' agencies and maximize synergy.

Jun Fujita, CEO of Hirata Group, said, "It is a great achievement that Ko Ji-woo and Ko Ji-won have combined for five KLPGA wins," adding, "It was very impressive to see them perform on the tour with a bright and healthy image as well as skills. I look forward to vigorously challenging myself toward bigger goals in 2026, he encouraged.

Ko Ji-woo responded, "It is an honor to be with Hirata Group, a global company. As much as you trusted and supported me, I will repay you with good performance," he said. Younger brother Ko Ji-won responded, "I'm happy to have a relationship with Hirata Group, which has supported Korea's great players, and it was a great motivation to do better."

Sister Ko Ji-woo, dubbed the "buddy bomber," has won three KLPGA Tour titles and has established herself as a leading player on the tour with consistency and aggressive play that harvests one win every year from 2023. Ko Ji-won also proved his ability by winning the Jeju Samdasoo Masters held in his hometown of Jeju in August 2025 and lifting the S-OIL Championship trophy in November. In particular, the two players are creating various stories last year by writing the real record of "single-season sister championship" for the first time in KLPGA Tour history.
