To mark the occasion, five of the world’s best golfers gathered at Sentosa Golf Club to officially launch the event which features all the world’s top-twenty golfers and each of the 2017 Major winners.

Tournament title sponsor HSBC brought together Shanshan Feng, China’s world number one, defending champion from South Korea Inbee Park plus her compatriot So Yeon Ryu, the USA’s Lexi Thompson and Tiffany Chan, the first golfer from Hong Kong ever to make it on to the LPGA tour – for a tournament launch to celebrate the incredible global field and depth of talent on show.

Crucial element to HSBC’s efforts to grow the sport in Asia is a focus on grass roots, based on the bank’s belief that only by working in partnership can we fulfil our true potential; Tiffany Chan, a sponsor’s invite at this week’s event, is a great example. Her recent achievements can be traced back to her early days as a golfer on the Hong Kong Golf Association’s Junior Development programme which HSBC has gone on to support as part of its mission to support the growth of golf inAsia.
