The Kolon Korea Open, as it is currently known for sponsorship reasons, is a men's professional golf tournament that has been held annually in South Korea since 1958.
The Korea Open was a fixture on the Asian Tour until 2009, when it became part of the rival OneAsia Tour's inaugural schedule. In 2008, for the 51st edition of the event, the total purse was US$1,000,000 which made it one of the Asian Tour's richest sole-sanctioned events.
