Oh Sung-wook (47), a former "PBA Champ," won three consecutive championships for the first time in the Dream Tour.

Oh Sung-wook topped the final round of the "2025-2026 PBA Dream Tour 7th" held at Goyang Kintex PBA Stadium in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province on the 3rd, with Oh Sung-wook beating Lim Taek-dong 3-1 (7-15, 15-8, 15-11, 15-9).

Oh Sung-wook added 10 million won in prize money and 10,000 ranking points to firmly maintain his No. 1 ranking (30,450 points) in the season.

Oh Sung-wook, who won all 23 games from Game 5 to Game 7 held in February, became the first dream tour to win three consecutive championships. Oh Sung-wook is the second player to win three tournaments in the Dream Tour in the 2019-2020 season since Sun Ji-hoon (Woori Financial Capital).

Oh Sung-wook, who gave up the first set 7-15 (8 innings), turned the game around 10-5 with eight high runs in the fourth inning when he was trailing 2-5 in the second set. Oh Sung-wook scored 1-2-1-1 straight from the fifth inning to win 15-8 (8 innings) to make the set score 1-1.

The third set was a crisis. With the score tied at 8-8, Oh scored four runs in the 10th inning to take a 12-8 lead. Lim Taek-dong scored one point in 11 innings and two points in 12 innings to chase a one-run gap, but Oh Sung-wook added one point each from 13 to 15 innings, winning 15-11 (15 innings), reversing the set score 2-1. Oh Sung-wook, who gained momentum, won 15-9 (6 innings) with eight high runs from the first inning of the fourth set, confirming the set score 3-1.

Oh Sung-wook said, "I'm really happy, but my sense of the game is not complete yet. "I could have lost this tournament twice, but I was lucky to have a chance and I was able to win," he said. "I have about three weeks left until the final of the Dream Tour, and I will raise my physical strength to participate in the tournament."

With Game 7 of the Dream Tour concluded with Oh Sung-wook's victory, the PBA will hold the King of Prodang-gu 'Hana Card Hana Capital Jeju Special Self-Governing Province PBA-LPBA World Championship 2026' at Halla Gymnasium in Jeju, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, for 10 days from the 6th to the 15th.
