The Korea Professional Golfers' Association (KPGA) Tour held a title sponsorship signing ceremony with David Golf for its second-tier tour at the KPGA Building in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, on Monday. Founded in 1990, David Golf is a domestic brand specializing in hybrid golf clubs.
Under the agreement, the second-tier tour, previously known as the Challenge Tour, will now be called the "David Golf Tour." The David Golf Tour will begin with the season's sixth tournament at Kimcheon Podo Country Club in Kimcheon, North Gyeongsang Province, on May 19. At the end of the season, the top 10 players on the David Points standings will earn KPGA Tour cards for the following year.
"David Golf's participation as title sponsor is valuable support that provides players with a better environment and greater motivation," KPGA Chairman Kim Won-seop said. "We are very reassured to have found a partner that sincerely supports the development of the second-tier tour."
"Through this sponsorship, we will work closely with the KPGA to contribute to expanding the base of Korean golf and supporting and nurturing players," David Golf CEO Koo Gun-woo said.
