Last year's Taiwan tournament where 'Hwang Yu-min won 400 million'... This year Bang Sin-sil, Shin Ji-ae, Bae So-hyun, and Kim Min-sun7 compete for '500 million won prize'
Last year's Foxconn TLPGA Players Championship, which carried the Taiwan Ladies Professional Golf Association tour's highest purse of $1.5 million, resembled a "Korean tournament." Hwang Yu-min claimed victory while Shin Ji-ae finished second, and Lee Dong-eun, Hong Jung-min, and Han Jin-sun tied for third. Including Kim Jae-hee in eighth place, six Korean players finished in the top 10.
Hwang Yu-min, who kicked off her season in fine form with the $270,000 winner's check (approximately 390 million won), went on to win the LPGA Tour's Lotte Championship as an invited player, fulfilling her dream of competing in the United States.
