SEOUL (Yonhap) — South Korean PGA Tour golfer Bae Sang-moon will take legal action after the Korean government denied him an extension of his overseas travel and forced him to face conscription, his family said Thursday.

Si Ok-hee, mother of the two-time PGA Tour winner, said Bae has hired an attorney to take the necessary legal steps after the Military Manpower Administration (MMA) refused to extend his overseas travel permit last month.
