GS Caltex Cup
The full name of this tournament is the GS Caltex Cup (Korean: GS칼텍스배). It is a Korean domestic tournament sponsored by GS Caltex. Until 2004, the tournament was known as the Korean LG Cup, as LG sponsored this new tournament, which started in 1996 when the Kiwang title was replaced by the international LG Cup. In 2005, LG split into two seperate groups, LG and GS, hence the name change for this tournament.
In 2005, this was one of the most lucrative domestic Korean professional tournaments, with 50 million Won for the winner and 15 million Won for the runner-up.
