This tournament has been running annually since November 2001 at the same Hong Kong course, as part of the European tour, although the tournament has actually been running since 1959. The list of winners so far (in the European tour years) reads like a who’s-who of the world of golf. From the inaugural win of José Maria Olazábal in 2001 through to Wen-tang Lin, the 2008 winner, names such as Colin Montgomerie, Miguel Angel Jimenez and Padraig Harrington have all had their hands on the trophy over the years.

This year’s 72 holes will again be contested by a red hot field, with the crème-de-La-crème of the golfing world participating. Lee Westwood, Colin Montgomerie, Ben Curtis, Paul Lawrie, Ian Poulter, Paul Casey, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Rory McIlroy, and Ben Curtis are all among the starters for the four day extravaganza.

The course at the Hong Kong Golf Club is a par 70 and is 6703 yards in total length. The players will play four rounds of golf covering 72 holes during the four day event. José María Olazábal holds the record to par (in the European tour years) of 22 under, set in 2002, while Fredrik Jacobson holds the best aggregate score of 260, set in 2003.
