The LPGA of Korea Tour is a South Korean professional golf tour for women. LPGA stands for Ladies Professional Golf Association; it is the independent LPGA of Korea which runs this tour, not the American LPGA. It is one of the world's five leading women's golf tours.

In 2007 there were 25 events on the main tour, including one co-sanctioned by the LPGA Tour and one co-sanctioned by the Ladies Asian Tour, plus a Korea versus Japan team match at the end of the season. The LPGA sanctioned event has a US$1.5 million prize fund and prize funds at the other individual events range from 200 million to 500 million South Korean Won (US$217,000 to US$542,000 at the March 2007 exchange rate).

Based on May 2008 exchange rates, in 2008 the main tour has total prize fund of circa USD 9.5 million for individual tournaments, plus USD 600,000 for a Korea versus Japan team tournament.
