Tournament Overview and Key Details
The "WEMIX CHAMPIONSHIP 2025," the final event of the 2025 KLPGA Tour season, successfully concluded on Sunday, November 16. Held at Gyeongju Mauna Ocean Country Club from November 15–16, the championship featured 24 of the country's top female golfers competing for the title.
Hong Jungmin, the season's top earner, secured the championship and the grand prize of 300 million KRW. A total of 700 million KRW in prize money was distributed among the participants according to the tournament's payout structure.
Fan Engagement and Community Impact
The championship attracted significant attention, with over 22,000 galleries attending over the two days, underscoring its growing popularity as a KLPGA Super Final event. On the opening day, WEMADE enhanced the experience for young golf enthusiasts through a special "Escort Kids" program, allowing them to walk the course alongside professional players.
The awards ceremony was intentionally streamlined to maintain a player-focused atmosphere. It excluded VIP protocol, award assistants, and splash celebrations, focusing solely on the 24 competitors and their caddies. This format allowed fans to engage closely with the players and share in the excitement.
Social Contribution and Fan Participation Events
WEMADE is continuing the momentum with fan-participation events aimed at social contribution. These initiatives include a crowdfunding project featuring players' personal items and "The Last Ball" event, which offers framed balls used by each of the 24 competitors on the final hole. All proceeds from these events, collected via WEMADE's blockchain-based transparency platform, Wepublic, will be donated to charitable causes. These events are scheduled to run through Monday, November 30.
Further details about the WEMIX CHAMPIONSHIP 2025 and the ongoing fan-participation events are available on the official Wepublic website.

Beyond the WEMIX CHAMPIONSHIP, WEMADE has demonstrated a commitment to sports promotion throughout the year. The company successfully hosted the nationwide amateur tennis tournament "WEMIX OPEN 2025." This event, which ran from July through October, involved approximately 250 university and club teams and garnered considerable interest from tennis enthusiasts across the country.
