The BMW Ladies Championship is a women's professional golf tournament in Busan, South Korea, co-sanctioned by the LPGA of Korea Tour and the LPGA Tour. It debuted in 2019.[1] It replaced the LPGA KEB Hana Bank Championship as the LPGA Tour's Korean stop on its Asian swing.
It is a 72-hole event with a limited field of 84 players, approximately half of a full-field event. There is no cut; all players played all four rounds.
Jang Ha-na won the inaugural event in a playoff over Danielle Kang.[2]
An LPGA of Korea Tour event of the same name was played from 2015 to 2017 at the Sky 72 Golf Club, home of the LPGA KEB Hana Bank Championship.
