\u201cFilling his roster spot in Korea and Andalucia will be the current KPGA Tour Genesis Points leader, Doyeob Mun.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited for Doyeob to join the KGC family and will officially welcome him on Tuesday afternoon at the team\u2019s press conference for LIV Golf Korea.\u201d<\/p>\n

South Korean Mun turned professional in 2013 and competes on both the Asian Tour and the KPGA Tour.<\/p>\n

He won his maiden Asian Tour title in 2025 at the GS Caltex Maekyung Open, a performance that included a 63 in the final round having begun the day six behind. That helped Mun finish 20th on the Asian Tour Order of Merit.<\/p>\n

Lee had one PGA Tour title before signing for LIV Golf in 2023, and it didn\u2019t take him long to make his mark, winning LIV Golf Tucson<\/a> in just his second appearance in the league.<\/p>\n

However, before Mun\u2019s appointment to Korean Golf Club, Lee was the lowest of the four players in the season-long individual standings.<\/p>\n

Lee is currently 55th, with captain An in 37th, Younghan Song 44th and Minkyu Kim 53rd. Mun\u2019s arrival also means that every member of the team is now South Korean.<\/p>\n

Lee\u2019s new status means he joins Richard T. Lee, Yosuke Asaji, Bjorn Hellgren, Miguel Tabuena and Jeongwoo Ham as Wild Cards.<\/p>\n
