Korea Championship: Preview, betting tips, how to watch

After ten years away, the DP World Tour is back in Korea.

The players have made their way from last week’s ISPS Handa Championship in Japan to Incheon, South Korea, for this week’s Korea Championship.

The golf course is a Jack Nicklaus design and it hosted the 2015 Presidents Cup. If you’re looking for some course form from that, Sangmoon Bae is in the field and picked up 2.5 points for the International team that week. However, that record probably doesn’t mask the memory of a difficult finish to that event that he would really rather forget.

There is some Ryder Cup hopefuls teeing it up, however, with Robert MacIntyre looking to build on a strong finish last week, Adrian Meronk back in action, and Yannik Paul, who is currently third in the European points list, in the field.

As was the case with last week’s event in Japan, there’s a lot of local talent in the field, with a Korean contingent making up a big chunk of the field.

The event is one of several in the DP World Tour’s calendar supported by Genesis, who are also the title sponsor of the Scottish Open.

Here’s the full Korea Championship preview.

The bunkered Bet

Grant Forrest 50/1

The Scot picked up where he left off last week in Japan, finishing in a tie for fourth after a month long break. Before that he’d played a lot of golf in 2023, not missing the cut this year. If you can get him at odds like 50/1, he’s a great bet.
