Giving the kids a chance to dream

Concentrated effort being made to expand programs and elevate talent level in China's junior ranks

Compared to the generation of Chinese ace Li Haotong, now ranked No 35 in the world, the nation's current crop of golf-loving kids enjoys a much better environment in which to pursue their dreams.

That's a result of the all-around support and preferential policies for junior golfers from local governments, the China Golf Association (CGA) and the PGA Tour Series-China, which has become a springboard to the international stage for homegrown talent.
