The Hanwha LIFEPLUS International Crown will be back in 2025, and we now have a date and location for the event.
The event, traditionally held every other year, is the closest thing the LPGA Tour has to the President’s Cup. In this event, four players from eight countries team up in a match play tournament to determine who wins the Crown.
In 2025, the event will be held in The Republic of Korea for the second time, the first time it was held there in 2018, South Korea won the event for the only time. New Korea Country Club will be hosting from Oct. 23 – 26.
The International Crown has been a fantastic showcase for the worldwide parity of the LPGA Tour, as no country has won it more than once over its four playings.
In 2014, Spain took home the title, in 2016 the United States won, in 2018 The Republic of Korea won.
After its cancelling in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Thailand captured the Crown at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, with a team consisting of Ariya and Moriya Jutanugarn, Patty Tavatanakit and Jeeno Thitikul.
