The tournament takes place at the Sheshan International Golf Club.
Among those already qualified are Ernie Els, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Nick
Dougherty, Paul Casey, Adam Scott, Steve Webster, Thomas Bjorn and Angel
Cabrera.
The event will be co-sanctioned by The European Tour, Asian Tour, the PGA Tour of Australasia, the Sunshine (Southern Africa) Tour and the China Golf Association.
