A Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) tour event scheduled for September 25 was cancelled.

The KLPGA Tour announced on the 30th that "due to circumstances beyond the organizer's control, the K-Food Nongbu·Hwami Masters has been unavoidably cancelled."

The K-Food Nongbu·Hwami Masters is a tournament organized by Nongbu, a franchise company specializing in Korean cuisine, which was newly established last year. Last year, Hong Jeong-min defeated Seo Gyori to become the inaugural champion.

This event was scheduled to take place over three days starting September 25 this year, but the organizer recently informed the KLPGA Tour of its intention to cancel.

As a result, the total prize money for this year's KLPGA Tour has been reduced from 31 events totaling 35.2 billion won to 30 events totaling 34 billion won.

The KLPGA Tour held 30 events in 2022, increased to 32 in 2023, then was reduced to 31 events each in 2024 and 2025, with one additional event cut this year.
