Korean Golf Club announced Monday that Danny Lee is moving to a wild-card role for the ​remainder of the LIV ‌Golf Season.

Lee will be replaced in the lineup for at least the next two events — including this week’s tournament in South ‌Korea — ​by Doyeob Mun, the ⁠current KPGA Tour ⁠Genesis points leader.

“We are excited for Doyeob to join the KGC family,” Korean GC posted Monday on X, ​adding that Mun will officially be introduced at a team press ⁠conference on Tuesday.

Mun, ⁠34, competes on both the ​KPGA Tour and Asian Tour.

LIV Golf ​Korea begins Thursday at Asiad Country ‌Club in Busan.

The other members of Korean GC are captain Byeong Hun An, Younghan Song and Minkyu Kim. ⁠The teams currently ranks last out of 13 teams in LIV Golf.

Lee, 35, won ⁠the 2015 ‌Greenbrier Classic on the ⁠PGA Tour and won the ​LIV ‌Golf Tucson event in 2023 ​in ⁠just his second tournament after joining the tour. His best finish in seven LIV Golf events this season was a T32 at Adelaide in February.
