The sibling duo will host the WebEx Players Series Perth event at their home club, Royal Fremantle, as part of the 2025 Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia schedule.

“Minjee and Min Woo are great ambassadors for the game of golf in Australia, and particularly WA, and our thanks go to both of them for jumping at the opportunity to host the WebEx Players Series Perth," said PGA of Australia Tour Development Manager Kim Felton.
“The WebEx Players Series is all about providing opportunities to our future stars of the game and to have both Minjee and Min Woo host this special event, share their knowledge on how they got to this point is invaluable and something that will no doubt assist our young players follow their footsteps."
In the brief history of the WebEx Players Series, women have won three times in the combined fields, all competing for the same prize money.
