Bjorn happy to be back with Ryder teammates

Thomas Bjorn believes this week's $7 million tournament unites two of the European Tour's strongest partners, with the BMW Masters set to kick off the Final Series once again in China.

The Dane will make his first appearance since helping Europe win the 2014 Ryder Cup last month and he cannot wait to finish a strong season on a high in the lucrative four-tournament swing, which begins at Lake Malaren Golf Club in Shanghai.

"BMW is one of the European Tour's strongest partners, and China has come to have a very strong presence on our schedule," said Bjorn. "Golf has grown so much here and it's great to see. There are some fantastic courses and we always receive excellent hospitality and a warm welcome. We have been coming to China for so many years now that it kind of feels like home.
