The Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) is recruiting participating schools for the '2026 KLPGA Youth Golf Environment Creation Support Project' to discover promising young golfers and expand the sport's reach.

Sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the National Sports Promotion Corporation, this project aims to provide students who have been unable to access golf due to environmental constraints despite their strong enthusiasm with motivation and opportunities to engage in golf as part of KLPGA’s infrastructure development initiative.

Since 2015, KLPGA has supported golf practice facilities at 22 schools nationwide, laying a solid foundation for nurturing young athletes. Recently, it successfully completed outdoor golf driving ranges at Saneung Elementary School in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province (2024) and Sejong Gamsung Elementary School (2025). This year, KLPGA plans to select one elementary or middle school nationwide and continue providing comprehensive support.

Selected schools will receive construction of an outdoor golf driving range with eight hitting bays, along with various golf equipment including club sets, golf balls, gloves, and ball dispensers. Additionally, the 'KLPGA Volunteer Instructors' program, where KLPGA members visit schools to conduct golf lessons, will also be supported.

Detailed information regarding application deadlines and eligibility can be found on the official KLPGA website. Schools wishing to participate should complete the application form attached to the announcement and submit it by mail by August 12.

Meanwhile, beyond infrastructure development for expanding youth golf participation, KLPGA has consistently identified future leaders of Korean golf through diverse youth programs and tournament hosting. Going forward, KLPGA plans to continue its unwavering support for nurturing promising talents and popularizing golf while taking the lead in fulfilling social responsibilities through sports.
