Which South Korean course hosted the first three editions of the CJ Cup?

The first three editions of the CJ Cup were hosted by Nine Bridges Golf Club on Jeju Island, South Korea.

The CJ Cup began in October 2017 as a new PGA Tour tournament sponsored by South Korean conglomerate CJ Group. Its first three editions—in 2017, 2018, and 2019—were played at Nine Bridges, making the event an important early showcase for professional golf in South Korea.

The venue is often confused with other prominent Korean courses, especially Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea and Sky72 Golf Club. Those are notable facilities, but neither hosted the CJ Cup’s opening three editions. Nine Bridges is located on Jeju Island, a popular resort destination south of the Korean Peninsula.

The tournament later moved because of the COVID-19 pandemic: Shadow Creek hosted in 2020, The Summit Club in 2021, and Congaree Golf Club in 2022. In 2024, the title was transferred to the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
