We report on the discovery and analysis of the planetary microlensing event OGLE-2019-BLG-1180 with a planet-to-star mass ratio q ∼ 0.003. The event OGLE-2019-BLG-1180 has unambiguous cusp-passing and caustic-crossing anomalies, which were caused by a wide planetary caustic with s ≃ 2, where s is the star-planet separation in units of the angular Einstein radius θ_E. Thanks to well-covered anomalies by the Korea Micorolensing Telescope Network (KMTNet), we measure both the angular Einstein radius and the microlens parallax in spite of a relatively short event timescale of t_E = 28 days. However, because of a weak constraint on the parallax, we conduct a Bayesian analysis to estimate the physical lens parameters. We find that the lens system is a super-Jupiter-mass planet of ${M}_{{\rm{p}}}={1.75}_{-0.51}^{+0.53}\,{M}_{{\rm{J}}}$ orbiting a late-type star of ${M}_{{\rm{h}}}={0.55}_{-0.26}^{+0.27}\,{M}_{\odot }$ at a distance ${D}_{{\rm{L}}}={6.1}_{-1.3}^{+0.9}\,\mathrm{kpc}$. The projected star-planet separation is ${a}_{\perp }={5.19}_{-1.23}^{+0.90}\,\mathrm{au}$, which means that the planet orbits at about four times the snow line of the host star. Considering the relative lens-source proper motion of μ_rel = 6 mas yr^–1, the lens will be separated from the source by 60 mas in 2029. At that time one can measure the lens flux from adaptive optics imaging of Keck or a next-generation 30 m class telescope. OGLE-2019-BLG-1180Lb represents a growing population of wide-orbit planets detected by KMTNet, so we also present a general investigation into prospects for further expanding the sample of such planets.
