BMW Ladies Championship 2024.15-20 October. Seowon Valley Country Club, Paju, South Korea.

The BMW Ladies Championship has been enriching the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour since the 2019 season. The BMW Ladies Championship is the only LGPA event in South Korea, has an outstanding field, a prize fund of 2.2 million US dollars, and is a highlight on the international BMW Golfsport calendar. This year’s event will be held at Seowon Valley Country Club in the metropolitan region of Seoul for the second time. The 78 players – 68 world class golfers, eight tournament invitees and two Korean amateurs – will tee off in all four rounds, as the event has no cut.

MINJEE LEE.

Defending Champion.

72 holes were not enough. Only the playoff brought the result after four exciting days at the 2023 BMW Ladies Championship. At the extra hole, Minjee Lee (AUS) triumphed with a birdie against Alison Lee (USA) and celebrated her second LPGA title of the season.

 

After four rounds, the 27-year-old Australian and the 28-year-old American were still tied with a total score of 272 strokes (16 under par), but in the decisive playoff, Minjee Lee proved to have the better nerves.

 

"We always want to be putting ourselves in that position, in the contending position, week-in, week-out and I was lucky enough to do it this week," said the two-time major winner, who was thrilled by the environment in South Korea. "It's just really fun to play in those type of conditions and those situations, so I think I really had fun out there this week."

SEOWON VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB.

The BMW Ladies Championship does not have a permanent venue but the only LPGA tournament in Korea aims to excite golf fans on outstanding courses throughout the country. So far, the LPGA International Busan (2019, 2021), the Oak Valley Country Club (2022), and last year's Seowon Valley Country Club in the Seoul metropolitan area have served as hosts. The BMW Ladies Championship will also be held at the latter in 2024, as the venue will now only change every three years.

 

The West Course and the South Course at the Seowon Valley Country Club were redesigned for the 2023 BMW Ladies Championship. The well-known golf course architect David Dale took on the task of making the layout more dynamic, challenging and strategic. One example of this being the addition of 86 new bunkers. The new layout will once again provide a true test for the world's best female golfers this year and a delight for the spectators.
