Kim Hyo-joo will compete in a Ladies European Tour event in South Korea this week as she seeks her third straight title at the Aramco Korea Championship.
Kim will attempt to win the tournament for a third consecutive year when the $2 million event begins Thursday at New Korea Country Club in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.
The tournament is part of the PIF Global Series organized by the LET with support from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
Kim won her first title of the season at the LPGA Tour's Founders Cup in March and followed it with another victory at the Ford Championship.
She then returned to South Korea in May and won the KLPGA Tour's NH Investment & Securities Ladies Championship before adding the Lotte Open title in July.
A victory this week would give Kim, whose main tour is the LPGA, a rare three wins in South Korea in a single season.
The Aramco event has been held at New Korea Country Club since 2024, giving Kim plenty of familiarity with the course.
"This course requires accuracy, consistency and patience," Kim said through the tournament organizing committee. "I'll give everything I have to win for a third straight year."
The field also includes Park Sung-hyun and Lee Jeong-eun, along with Korean American LPGA players Danielle Kang and Alison Lee.
Carlota Ciganda of Spain and Olivia Cowan of Germany are also set to compete.
