Official scheduleRegister & structure

The event that opened APT Jeju 2026 and the festival's designated national championship. Listed as event #1 on the tour's own schedule with a KRW 200,000,000 guarantee for a KRW 900,000 buy-in, it ran three Day 1 flights on Friday 25 September 2026: Flight A at 11:00, Flight B at 16:00 and a turbo Flight C at 20:30.

The guarantee was comfortably beaten. The APT's schedule shows a prize pool of KRW 358 million against the KRW 200 million promised, built from 191 entries in Flight A, 171 in Flight B and 112 in the turbo.

It is worth noting what the buy-in became. The tour's November 2025 season announcement had advertised a Korea National Cup at KRW 850,000 for the January Jeju Classic; the September festival's edition was priced at KRW 900,000.
