LIV Golf breaks new ground at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea
Taking top-level tournament golf to new locations is at the heart of LIV Golf’s mission.
No event will illustrate that ambition more clearly in 2025 than our first visit to South Korea.
This is a country that absolutely adores golf, and excitement is already rising in anticipation of a fantastic three days at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea on May 2-4.
The course is located in Incheon, a city that’s home to three million people and sits on the coast to the west of the capital, Seoul.
We strongly suggest you book your tickets early for this tournament. The passion with which Korean fans follow the game ensures the event will be packed out – and we’re expecting a fantastic atmosphere to greet the LIV Golf teams and players.
One man already looking forward to the event is Australian legend Greg Norman and former CEO of LIV Golf. He said: “Bringing LIV Golf to South Korea is another significant milestone as LIV continues to expand throughout Asia.”
You can be part of history, too. Head to the South Korea 2025 ticket page for full details.
Local boy hoping to shine in Incheon, South Korea
Danny Lee, of the Iron Heads GC team, has already made a significant impact on LIV Golf.
He won the 2023 event in Tucson, Arizona when he beat Louis Oosthuizen, Carlos Ortiz and Brendan Steele in a playoff.
Now Lee has even more incentive to excel when LIV Golf comes to Incheon – because he was born in the city.
Lee and his family migrated to New Zealand when he was eight, and he now has Kiwi citizenship. But he is sure to have tremendous support from the crowds who flock to this course in his home city.
His Iron Heads GC team-mate Kevin Na will also be motivated to bring his A-game. Na was born in Seoul and moved to the United States when he was eight.
He is one of several Korean-born winners on the PGA Tour. That list also includes KJ Choi and Yang Yong-eun, who stunned Tiger Woods to win the PGA Championship in 2009.
Korean women, meanwhile, have been hugely successful on the LPGA Tour. Stars like Seri Pak, Inbee Park, and Jin Young Ko have won dozens of tournaments in recent years.
It’s been estimated that about one in 10 people in South Korea play golf – a higher proportion than in the United States. This is a nation with a genuine passion for the sport, as we are sure to see in May.
What to expect at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea
Anybody who has played a course designed by Jack Nicklaus will tell you that the Golden Bear does not like to make things easy for you.
Nicklaus, who still holds the record for Major championship victories with 18, has designed hundreds of courses around the world since his stellar playing days ended.
The course in Incheon is the only one in Korea that bears his name, though. When it was first opened in 2010, Nicklaus said: “We will ensure that the course is playable and enjoyable for golfers of all ability levels by providing multiple tees and strategy options.”
The LIV Golf field can expect to play the course’s full length, which is a daunting 7,470 yards. Water comes into play at more than half the holes at the track, which hosted the Presidents Cup between the US and the International Team in 2015.
This is also the venue for the Genesis Championship on the DP World Tour, and has hosted the Korea Women’s Open.
