The Nexen Saint Nine Masters 2026, the biggest golf festival in the Busan-Gyeongnam region and part of the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour, will be held over three days starting April 17 at Gaya Country Club in Gimhae, South Gyeongsang Province.
Total prize money for this year's tournament has been raised by 100 million won from the previous year to 1 billion won ($730,000), elevating the event's stature. The course will be set at 6,902 yards, surpassing the 2024 and 2025 editions to become the longest course in KLPGA Tour history. Players' driving distance and precise course management skills are expected to be key variables.
The field features a star-studded lineup. Led by defending champion and long-drive icon Bang Shin-sil, the tournament will feature top KLPGA Tour players including last season's money list leader Hong Jeong-min, Player of the Year Yoo Hyun-jo, Lee Ye-won and Park Hyun-kyung.
This year, the tournament will continue its "Patron" program for sponsors and partners, significantly enhancing premium services for participants.
