Stars from the top U.S. and domestic women's golf tours will converge for an LPGA Tour event in South Korea this week, with a hometown favorite looking to defend her title. The LPGA Tour will bring its annual Asian swing to Haenam, some 330 kilometers south of Seoul in Jeonnam-Gwangju, for the BMW Ladies Championship at Pine Beach Golf Links. The 72-hole stroke-play tournament goes from Thursday to Sunday, with a total purse of $2.35 million. This will be the second straight edition of the tournament played in Haenam. Kim Sei-young, who is from the nearby town of Yeongam, won last year's tournament in front of dozens of friends and relatives to end a five-year LPGA title drought. At No. 9 with 13 career LPGA wins, Kim has had a strong 2026 season with seven top-10 finishes in 17 starts -- a run that will surely improve with a second straight BMW title on home soil this week. No player has won consecutive BMW tournaments since its launch in 2019. Kim is the third-highest ranked South Korean player in the field. World No. 3 Ryu Hae-ran leads all South Korean players in the rankings and will
FC Seoul’s 10-year wait for the K League title is almost over. The capital club was last champion of Korea in 2016, then a third triumph in six years. At the time, Seoul was a powerhouse of soccer in the Land of the Morning Calm and had the mighty goal machine Dejan Damjanovic in attack. The team was unlucky to lose the final of the Asian Champions League in 2013. The last decade has, however, been one to forget. Victory over Gangwon FC on Saturday will start the celebrations in front of the home fans at Seoul World Cup Stadium. It would be the perfect way to do it, for coach Kim Gi-dong to get the party started up by the banks of the Han River. Fans have been waiting for some time but this season looked different from the start. Seoul has been at the top of the standings from the get-go. At the moment, the club is 16 points clear with six games remaining. Only Ulsan HD can theoretically catch the leader but the Tigers will have to win all six (highly unlikely as the team has won just 15 of the 32 so far) and hope that Seoul does not manage a single victory. In short, it is 99.99 per
KT Wiz outfielder Sam Hilliard was named Korean baseball's top player for the final month of the regular season Tuesday. The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) said Hilliard won the voting for the Player of the Month honor for the September-October period. The regular season ended Oct. 12. In 32 games during that period, Hilliard led the KBO with 14 home runs and 40 RBIs, while ranking second with 33 runs scored and a .697 slugging percentage. He had the third-most hits with 43. For the season, Hilliard won the RBI title with 139 and finished second with 44 home runs. Hilliard earned 11 out of 35 votes from the media, and 271,145 out of 460,484 votes cast by fans online, for total voting points of 45.16.

With Hilliard leading the offense down the stretch, the Wiz cruised to the best record in the regular season at 90-49-5 (wins-losses-ties), and won their final 10 games. Hilliard was also the Player of the Month for July. The American slugger is the first foreign player to win the top monthly award twice in the same
