Jack Nicklaus GC Korea

Location in South Korea

The Korea Championship was a professional golf tournament held at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea in Incheon, South Korea.

The tournament was created in 2023 and was a co-sanctioned event between the European Tour and the Korean Tour.[1][2]

Genesis Motor was also announced as the presenting sponsor for the inaugural event.[3]

Pablo Larrazábal won the inaugural event, winning by two shots ahead of Marcus Helligkilde.[4]

The tournament was scheduled to return in 2024, again as a co-sanctioned European Tour and Korean Tour event. However, in April 2024, the European Tour announced that the event would be merged with the Genesis Championship, ultimately being removed from the 2024 schedule.[5]
