Beijing Longxi Hotspring to host Omega Championship

This year's Omega Championship, the Omega China Tour's season-ending event, will be held for the first time at the 27-hole Beijing Longxi Hotspring Golf Club. The tournament will be held in Beijing from Oct 9-12 and will conclude the season, following this week's Tianjin Championship.

"We're really excited about hosting the Omega Championship, especially as it's the final event of the season and will confirm the Omega Order of Merit winner," said Gan Lianfang, chairman of the board at Beijing Xingpai Group, the club's developer.

Zhang Xiaoning, secretary general of the China Golf Association, said: "Beijing Longxi is a great course and provides another good test for our players as they continue to raise their standards on the Omega China Tour. The Tour is concluding its fourth season and the Omega Championship is one of its greatest events, so we're looking forward to an exciting showdown."
