CLPGA adding to its allure

Young pros are finding lots to like about China's rising women's tour

From its humble beginnings in 2008, the China LPGA has become an increasingly attractive prospect for golfers from home and abroad.

The final round of the CTBC Ladies Classic, which was co-sanctioned by the CLPGA and the Taiwan LPGA, at Guangdong Dragon Lake Golf Club in Guangzhou on Saturday bore witness to the tour's international appeal, with players from 14 regions and countries teeing up to compete for a share of the 800,000 yuan ($116,800) in prize money.
