Maekyung Open

The GS Caltex Maekyung Open, as it is known for sponsorship reasons, is a professional golf tournament that takes place in Seoul, South Korea. It was established in 1982,[1] replacing the Korea Open as the South Korean event on the Asia Golf Circuit.[2] Between 1999 and 2009 (except for 2004) it was a stop on the Asian Tour, and then in 2010 it became part of the OneAsia Tour schedule.[3] In 2018 and 2019 it once again became a fixture on the Asian Tour.
