The 2025 Genesis Championship on the DP World Tour will be held at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club from October 23-26 with Byeong Hun An back to defend his title.
In what was the first time the event was played on the DP World Tour having previously been a PGA of Korea event only, Hun An won a play-off with fellow South Korean Tom Kim at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in 2024.
The event moves to the challenging Woo Jeong Hills Country Club for 2025 with the new host venue expected to provide a test precision and consistency throughout the week.
The Genesis Championship field features a competitive mix of established stars like Hideki Matsuyama and Adam Scott and some talents bidding for a late season victory in South Korea.
