Kevin Na, a Korean-American golfer, was sure that he was entering a great story when he came to LIV Golf. The experienced golfer realized that the leaders of this Tour want to make LIV a global project, with the intention of visiting every corner of the planet. Na had no doubt that holding the LIV Tournament in Korea would be a huge deal for golf fans there, and for everyone.

Although he might have expected that things could be resolved quickly, the 41-year-old had to wait a long time before LIV officials confirmed that tournaments would be played in the country where he was born.
"When I joined LIV, they always had plans to play in Korea. But its not as simple as picking up a phone and trying to get an event there."- he told Golf Monthly.

Popular golfers put an accent on the fans there, expecting the fans to be supportive. This sprot is becoming more and more popular in Korea, especially after Yubin arrived on their team. Kevin Na thinks that the fans will be even more excited when they really see what kind of spectacle this is.
"Im really excited to show the Korean fans what LIV Golf is all about. To have a team with three Korean-born players in and to have Korean sponsors, and to go and play at one of the best, if not the best, golf courses in Korea - Jack Nicklaus Golf Club - is extremely exciting.

I know the fans are going to be supportive, and the media is already creating quite a bit of a buzz in Korea over Yubins signing and us finally looking somewhat unified as a team and having a theme.
Once the Korean fans get to see what LIV is all about, live and in person, theyre going to love it and theyre going to be fans for life."
