Last season, we had a special time for Hong Jung-min (24, Korea Land Trust), the prize money king of the Korean Women's Professional Golf Tour.

The Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) hosted the talent donation program "KLPGA with YOU" with Hong Jung-min, the prize money king of last season, at Gamseong Elementary School in Sejong City on the 14th.

KLPGA with YOU is a talent donation program for schools that have received golf equipment and support for the establishment of a golf practice range through KLPGA's golf infrastructure construction project, the Youth Golf Environment Creation Project.

The event was held at Gamjeong Elementary School, and Hong Jung-min, who won three KLPGA regular tours in the 2025 season to host special lessons for 20 students, won the prize money king and the joint multi-win king.

Hong Jung-min said, "At first, I was nervous and worried about giving lessons to young students, the future of Korean golf," adding, "I had a good time because I followed them well and learned passionately as they taught me, and I hope today will make students more interested in golf." I will continue to attend these meaningful events often in the future," he said.

Lee Hyun-joon, a fifth-year student at Gamseong Elementary School who first took a lesson from a golfer, said, "It was really cool to see Hong Jung-min in person, and it was good to learn the golf posture. I was even happier to receive a hat with Hong Jung-min's signature on it, and I will cherish it," he said.

Meanwhile, KLPGA is carrying out various projects such as the KLPGA Talent Donation Team program consisting of KLPGA members, the KLPGA Kidz Golf Camp, and the Youth Golf Environment Creation Project to expand the base of youth golf. In addition, it is taking the lead in finding promising golf players by holding competitions such as the KLPGA Presidential Cup Women's Amar Golf Championship and the KLPGA-Samcheonri Together Dream Tree Competition.
