The Descente Korea Munsingwear Matchplay is an annual professional golf tournament hosted in South Korea and sponsored by the clothing company Munsingwear. The tournament has been held since 2010 and is part of the Korean Tour for men. Prize money was ₩400,000,000 in 2010 and 2011, ₩600,000,000 in 2012 and 2013, ₩800,000,000 from 2014 to 2016 and ₩1,000,000,000 in 2017 to 2019.

From 2010 to 2013 and in 2015 the event was played towards the end of season, in September or October. In 2014 it was played in May while from 2016 to 2019 it was played in June.

Originally 64 players qualified to play 6 rounds of 18-hole match-play over 3 days. In 2015 the event was extended to four days with just one round on the first two days. In 2016 the format was revised. At the last-16 stage the players are divided into four groups of four, each playing the other three in the group. Extra holes are not played in the group stage. This stage takes place on the third day and the morning of the final day. The two best group winners then play to decide the winner of the event, with other matches deciding 3rd/4th places, etc. Rankings within groups and then between groups are determined firstly by the number of wins and then by the net number of holes up in the three matches. For example, in 2016 Lee Sang-yeop reached the final as the second ranked player, with 3 wins and +8 holes (1up, 6&4, 1up) while Park Sang-hyun with 3 wins and +7 holes (1up, 4&3, 2&1) played in the match to decide 3rd/4th places.

gollark: I *do* do stuff like download entire copies of wikipedia and just never deleting unused files, which is probably why.

gollark: The osmarks.tk™ primary server has 1TB of disk space which is somehow half full.

gollark: Have you tried multiplayer lambda calculus?

gollark: Of course it can ”””deal with ideas”, it's a notetaking environment.
