American Bubba Watson and Abraham Ancer from Mexico will headline next week’s Kolon Korea Open – bringing a touch of LIV Golf star power to one of the region’s most prestigious National Opens.
The tournament is returning to Woo Jeong Hills Country Club after a two-year gap due to renovations and will be played from 21-24 May.
In addition to their participation, the tournament has also been given a boost in terms of prize money. It has been raised to KRW2,000,000,000 (approximately US$1,335,000), an increase of US$400,000 from last year.
The two star players are taking time out from their busy LIV Golf schedules, although their trip is timely as LIV Golf Korea will be played the following week.
Watson is the captain of RangeGoats GC, while Ancer plays for Torque GC. The former is a two-time winner of the Masters, in 2012 and 2014, and has triumphed 12 times on the PGA Tour.

Ancer has an impressive record of claiming titles on many of the major tours, having tasted victory once on the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, the PGA Tour of Australasia, Web.com Tour and the LIV Golf League. He has also enjoyed success on the Asian Tour, winning the PIF Saudi International in 2023.
