The KPGA Technology Education Committee has organized "KPGA Show 2026," set to take place Thursday at COEX Live Plaza in Seoul.
The KPGA Show is an education program through which KPGA professionals share golf knowledge and teaching expertise accumulated on the course, aimed at raising members' professional skills and capabilities.
This year's event is larger in scale than last year's, with six speakers — Choi Jong-hwan, Lee Seung-ho, Heo Seok-ho, Jang Jae-geun, Lee Si-woo and Kim Gyu-tae — taking part in a relay lecture series. Each speaker will draw on personal experience and areas of expertise to share practical insights on golf technique, instruction, tour experience and strategies for improving performance.
A key feature of this year's event is its departure from the conventional indoor lecture format. Taking advantage of COEX Live Plaza's open space, the program will run as an "open studio-style live lesson event" — an open platform where KPGA professionals' explanations, demonstrations and on-site interaction flow naturally together.
The venue will offer 70 reserved seats available to KPGA members through advance registration, along with 30 walk-in seats on the day. Standing and open-viewing zones will also be operated to make use of the venue's open layout.
Announcer Kim Mi-young, a 16-year veteran golf broadcaster and speech communication specialist, will serve as emcee.
