Golfer Park Min-ji is set to challenge for a new record in the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour at the Celltrion Queens Masters. Currently holding 20 career wins, Park aims to surpass the all-time record of 21 victories.

The tournament holds special significance for Park, as it is the venue where she achieved an unprecedented four consecutive wins from 2021 to 2024. Last year, her streak was broken when she finished in a tie for 40th place, but she is now looking to reclaim the title.

This year's Celltrion Queens Masters, taking place at Sungmoonan Country Club in Wonju, Gangwon Province, is the seventh edition of the event. It boasts a total prize fund of 1.5 billion won, an increase of 300 million won from previous years, making it the highest prize money event in the KLPGA Tour for the 2026 season.

Park's recent performance includes a comeback victory at the ShKLPGA MBN Women's Open last week, indicating strong form heading into the Celltrion Queens Masters.
