The K-Food Nolbu·Hwami Masters is a tournament hosted by Nolbu, a company specializing in Korean food franchises, and was newly established last year. At that time, Hong Jeongmin claimed her third victory of the season by defeating Seo Gyolim by a single stroke.

The tournament was expected to continue this year, but the organizer recently notified the KLPGA Tour of its intention to cancel, resulting in its removal from the schedule. With this cancellation, the 2026 KLPGA Tour has been reduced from the original 31 tournaments with a total prize pool of 35.2 billion won to 30 tournaments totaling 34 billion won.

The KLPGA Tour was held with 30 tournaments in 2022, increased to 32 in 2023, and then reduced to 31 tournaments in both 2024 and 2025, and now further decreased to 30 tournaments this year. The KLPGA Tour has also not yet announced a corporate sponsor for the "OO Open," which is scheduled to take place over four days starting October 15.
