Kim Minsol and Seo Gyolim will face off in Paju.

The two players will vie for the title at the Daebo House D Championship, the final tournament of the 2026 Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour season, which will be held on November 6 at the West and South courses of Seowon Hills Country Club in Paju, Gyeonggi Province (par 72, 6,649 yards). The total purse is 1.2 billion won.

This is the final tournament of the 2026 season, with 60 players in the field. The top 56 players in the money rankings will compete, along with LPGA Tour member Lee Dongeun and amateur invitees Kim Gyubin, Moon Arin and Lee Sieun. The winner will be determined over 54 holes of stroke play across three days, with no cut. The winner will receive 300 million won.

With the exception of Rookie of the Year, the KLPGA Tour has yet to determine its individual title winners for this year. Kim Minsol and Seo Gyolim, both born in 2006, are locked in a close contest for multiple titles, including most wins, the money title and Player of the Year.

"Super rookie" Kim Minsol secured the Rookie of the Year award early, with 2,694 points. She has collected three wins this year, including one major title. She has finished in the top 10 ten times, with three wins, four runner-up finishes and two third-place finishes. Last week at the S-OIL Championship, she became the first player in KLPGA Tour history to surpass 1.6 billion won in season earnings, taking her total to 1,601,819,428 won. She is second in Player of the Year points (525), wins (three) and scoring average (70.81).

"I'm grateful just to be competing for major titles this late in the season," Kim Minsol said. "I'll focus on my game, just as I have so far."

Seo Gyolim is also poised to mount a major challenge. She ranks second in season earnings with 1,413,216,000 won and could claim the money title as well if she wins the Daebo House D Championship. She currently leads in Player of the Year points (563), wins (four) and scoring average (70.64). Seo is dealing with pain in her right ribs. After sitting out the S-OIL Championship, she has focused all her attention on this tournament.
