Jang Yu-bin, who swept six major titles at the 2024 Korea Professional Golfers' Association (KPGA) Tour including the Genesis Award, prize money leader, Deokchun Award (lowest stroke average), Most Improved Player, Top 10 Finish Award, and Long Drive Award, is returning to the domestic circuit.

"It feels a bit awkward to greet Korean fans after such a long time," Jang said through the KPGA Tour on the 18th. "I'm grateful to be able to share the news of my return to the KPGA Tour."

The 24-year-old Shinhan Financial Group player, who competed on LIV Golf during the 2025 season, plans to participate in both the KPGA Tour and Asian Tour International Series this year.

Jang holds three career victories on the KPGA Tour, including one won as an amateur in 2023. He is also a gold medalist in the team event at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games.
