European Tour strategic alliance extension
Following the strategic alliance partnership signed with the European Tour in December 2022,[2] the season marked the inaugural edition of the Korea Championship, the first time the Korean Tour had co-sanctioned an event with the European Tour since 2013.[3] Following the conclusion of the event, a new extension to the strategic alliance was announced in May by the European Tour. As part of the extension, an additional two players (three in total) from the Korean Tour Order of Merit were awarded European Tour status for the following season.[4]
