Korean Amateur - Hur Chungkoo Cup

The Korean Amateur Golf Championship, also known as the Hur Chungkoo Cup since 2003, is one of South Korea's oldest and most prestigious amateur golf tournaments. Established in 1954, the event honors the late Chairman Hur Chungkoo, who was instrumental in leading both the Korea Golf Association (KGA) and the Korea Professional Golf Association. The championship is typically held over four days in a stroke play format, featuring the nation's top male amateur golfers competing for the coveted Hur Chungkoo Trophy. The tournament attracts a large field of competitors and has been a proving ground for many golfers who have gone on to notable professional careers in Korea and internationally. The event also carries significant points toward national amateur rankings.
