Mickelson, Donald sign up for Guangdong event
(09-11 21:01)
World number three Luke Donald and four-time major winner Phil Mickelson will star in this year's US$7 million WGC-HSBC Champions golf tournament in Guangdong, China, organizers said.
They will be joined by defending champion Martin Kaymer of Germany and England's Lee Westwood, ranked number four in the world, at the event at Mission Hills' Olazabal Course from November 1 to 4, Reuters reports.
The tournament, one of Asia's richest, is being held on a new course this year with the previous seven titles being held at Sheshan International Golf Club in Shanghai.
Mickelson, a two time winner of the event, similarly suggested that the tournament could spring a new champion this time round because of the different course, which is 7,320 yards in length.
The event is run by the International Federation of PGA Tours, which includes the Asian Tour, European Tour, and the United States's PGA Tour among others.
The course was designed by two-time major winner Jose Maria Olazabal.
