Paju, Korea - The four-day tournament runs through October 3 at Kasugai Country Club’s East Course in Aichi Prefecture, featuring a 72-hole stroke play format across men’s and women’s individual and team events. A total of four gold medals are up for grabs, with team scores calculated using a best-two-scores approach per round.
“The team is focused on delivering a strong start,” said representatives following the lineup announcement, as professional golfers Sunghyun Kim, Tom Kim, and Doyob Moon lead the men’s contingent, while high school standouts Gyubin Kim, Seojin Park, and Yunseo Yang represent the women’s squad.
Selection for the national squad was unanimously finalized by the Korea Golf Association’s performance committee based on World Golf Rankings and national points standings. Historically, South Korea has captured 14 Asian Games gold medals in golf, with their most recent triumph coming in the men’s team event at the Hangzhou Games in 2023.
Morning tee times see the men’s team launching their drives from the first hole, while the women’s team begins their opening rounds from the tenth tee later this afternoon, setting up a decisive week ahead in Japan.
