Announced at a press conference held at Deep Water Bay earlier today, the European legends will line up alongside a strong field of Asian Tour stars and homegrown talents in the US$1 million event, which will provide free entry for spectators across all four tournament days.🔥 Poulter, who won the Hong Kong Open in 2010 in record-breaking style, said: “Hong Kong is one of my favourite places and I am looking forward to coming back to Asia’s World City for the inaugural WCC.” Stenson, meanwhile, will be making his first trip to the city. “I’m excited to be coming to Hong Kong for the first time and can’t wait to see all the fans in Fanling,” said the 2016 Open champion. Club Captain Andy Kwok said: “After a three-year hiatus, we are delighted to be hosting the WCC and to be partnering with the Asian Tour in bringing such an important new event to Hong Kong. It is the first of three top international tournaments we will host at the Club this season, and we look forward to welcoming visitors from around the world and around Hong Kong to Fanling throughout 2023.” Hong Kong’s Taichi Kho, who enjoyed a stellar amateur career before recently turning pro, is expected to lead the local charge. “I am incredibly excited about playing the WCC. As a Hong Kong golfer, to be playing as a pro on my home course and in front of home galleries is something that I have dreamed about. I hope to see as many fans as possible over the tournament. A lot of Hong Kong players will be playing, so it will be a great chance to fly the Hong Kong flag high.” Further information, including free ticket registration, will be announced shortly. #香港哥爾夫球會 #高爾夫球 #香港高爾夫球 #香港運動 #粉嶺球場 #HKGC #Golf #HongKongGolf #HongKongSports #FanlingGolfCourse #WorldCityChampionship #IanPoulter #HenrikStenson #TaichiKho
