The Taiwan Women's Golf Open is a golf tournament on the Taiwan LPGA Tour and LPGA of Korea Tour hosted in Taiwan since 2019. It is played at Hsin Yi Golf Club in Kaohsiung City.
The 72-hole stroke play tournament features a field of 108, which is cut down to 60 for the third round. It has a purse of US$800,000, the largest on the Taiwan LPGA Tour, and is sponsored by Seoul Broadcasting System.[1]
Play at the inaugural event was suspended for a while in the morning due to poor visibility caused by fog. Thailand's Wannasiri Sirisampant made a hole-in-one on the 13th hole, and won a Hublot watch worth NT$400,000.[2]
The event was cancelled for several years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing travel restrictions.[3]
