The KLPGA Tour's K-Food Nolbu-Hwami Masters, scheduled for September 25-27, has been canceled.
On July 30, the KLPGA Tour announced, "The K-Food Nolbu-Hwami Masters has been regrettably canceled due to circumstances on the part of the organizer."
The K-Food Nolbu-Hwami Masters is organized by Nolbu, a Korean cuisine franchise, and Hwami, a food ingredient company. The tournament was established last year.
In the inaugural event, Hong Jung-min claimed victory with a total score of 12-under-par 204, edging out Seo Kyo-rim by one stroke.
This year, the tournament was also set to take place during the Chuseok holiday, but the organizers recently informed the KLPGA Tour of their decision to cancel.
With this cancellation, the KLPGA Tour's schedule has been reduced from 31 to 30 events this season. The total prize money has also decreased from 35.2 billion won to 34 billion won.
The number of KLPGA Tour events was 30 in 2022, increased to 32 in 2023, then reduced to 31 in both 2024 and 2025. This year marks another decrease, bringing the total to 30 events.
