Oh Sung-wook (48), a former PBA champion, lifted the trophy until Game 6 following Game 5 of the Dream Tour (Second Division).

Oh Sung-wook beat Ko Yeon-sung 3-1 (15-6, 5-15, 15-8, 15-3) in the final of the "2025-2026 PBA Dream Tour" held at Goyang Kintex PBA Stadium in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province on the 24th.

Oh Sung-wook, who won the last Game 5, succeeded in lifting the trophy again in two weeks. It is the first time that he has won two consecutive tournaments in the Dream Tour since Sun Ji-hoon (Woori Financial Capital), who dominated Games 5 and 6 in the 2019-2020 season. It is the first time in six years. Oh Sung-wook, who added 10 million won in prize money and 10,000 ranking points, rose from third place in the season ranking (10,450 points) to first place (20,450 points).

Oh Sung-wook caught the flow at the beginning of the game. Oh Sung-wook, who led 9-0 by scoring consecutive runs from three innings in the first set, finished the first set 15-6 (9 innings) by adding four runs in the eighth inning and two runs in the ninth inning with 9-6. In the second set, Ko Yeon-seong fought back with 15-5 (7 innings) to make the set score 1-1.

Oh Sung-wook scored three runs in one inning in the third set, followed by eight high runs in the second inning, and quickly ran away 11-0. Oh Sung-wook, who scored two runs in the fourth inning and one run in the sixth inning to make it 14-2, was shaken for a while with a ball in three consecutive innings, but he added one run in the 10th inning to win the game 15-8. In the fourth set, Oh Sung-wook hit 13 high runs in the third inning, winning 15-3 (4 innings) and securing the set score 3-1.

Oh Sung-wook, a former winner of the first part of the tour, has been relegated to the second part of the tour since the end of the 2023-2024 season. Although he suffered a bit of a slump in the 2024-2025 season, he won the fifth game of this season and the sixth game, signaling a complete revival.

Oh Sung-wook said in a PBA after the game, "I'm happy to win, but I'm out of touch because I haven't played a match for a long time. I hope to win the rest of the tournament, but I want to play as many matches as possible and find a lot of sense of play before going to the first part of the tour," he said.

With Game 6 of the Dream Tour concluded with Oh Sung-wook, the PBA will hold Game 7 of the Dream Tour for four days from the 28th, including the Goyang KINTEX PBA Stadium.
