Description
The KPGA Tour moves to the Banyatree Club & Spa Seoul for the 2026 KPGA Founders Cup. The primary challenge for the field of top Korean professionals is the tight, tree-lined layout and relatively small greens that demand high precision over raw power. The objective for the competitors is to honor the "Founders" of Korean professional golf by showcasing elite-level shot-making in one of the most respected events on the domestic calendar.
Strategically, the goal for the opening round is to avoid the thick spring rough and set up uphill birdie looks on the firming greens. The tactical focus for early favorites like Minkyu Kim and Sung-hyun Kim centers on finding the right sections of the undulating fairways to attack pins. With the course playing to a par of 72, the ultimate goal for the first 18 holes is to post a score under 70 to keep pace with the aggressive scoring expected from the local contingent.

Result Description
Kim M., Kwon O., and Park T. all carded rounds of 4-under-par 68 to share the lead after the first day of play. Their primary objective was to navigate the front nine without blemish, which the trio largely achieved by combining for twelve birdies on the day. They hold a slim one-stroke advantage over a large group of six players sitting at 3-under-par.
The chasing pack includes notable names such as Jung R. and Ko Suk Woan, who both posted steady 69s to remain in prime position. The depth of the KPGA talent pool was evident, with twenty players finishing within two shots of the lead. While the scoring was competitive, the course showed its teeth to those who missed the narrow fairways, as several top-ranked players struggled to break par. By the end of the day, the leaderboard indicated that the 2026 edition would likely be a battle of attrition and putting precision.
