THE 2010 China Open golf championship will be played in Suzhou in April with an increased prize fund of US$2.5 million, organizers announced yesterday.
The 16th version of the tournament will be the richest event on the 10-stop OneAsia Tour and again co-sanctioned by the European Tour, said a new release.
A Gary Player-designed course at the "exclusive" Jinji Lake International Golf Club course in Jiangsu Province, which is some 96 kilometers from Shanghai, will host the event for the first time from April 15 to April 18.
Swedish carmakers Volvo, which has backed the tournament since its inception in 1995, has boosted the prize pot by US$300,000 and taken over promotion from its local partners.
The China Golf Association announced its controversial split from the Asian Tour at the launch of the China Open last year, throwing its lot in with the fledgling rival OneAsia Tour. Australian Scott Strange won the 2009 China Open in Beijing by one stroke.
