Co-organized by Asian Tour and Australian Tour, the 104th New Zealand Open will be held for four days from the 27th to the 2nd of next month (Korea time) at the Millbrook Resort Coronet Course (par 71.6936 yards) and the Remarkable's Course (par 71.6784 yards) in Queenstown, New Zealand. The total prize money is 2 million New Zealand dollars.
Including Go Won-taek, Kim Bi-oh, Jeon Ga-ram, and Lee Dong-min, Hong Soon-sang (44. Danu), Ok Tae-hoon (27. Keumgang House), Lee Chang-woo (32. Danu), Kim Hak-hyung (33. Team Sokchoi), Wang Jeong-hoon (30), Wi Chang-soo (53), Kang Dong-woo (38), Luke Kwon (31) and the women's team (25. New Zealand) who debuted on the KPGA Tour last year were also on the list of participants.
Competition is expected to be fiercer than ever as the winner of the tournament will be eligible to participate in the 'The Open Championship' in July.
"It's my first time participating in the 'New Zealand Open'," Go said. "The 2025 season has started since the opening match of the Asian Tour in the Philippines last month. I haven't recorded the performance I want yet, but as my sense of play is gradually improving, I will do well in this tournament."
Meanwhile, the best record recorded by a Korean player in the 'New Zealand Open' was runner-up by Um Jae-woong (35. Woosung Construction) last year.
