The Volvo China Open has been held for 25 years straight and is the longest running title sponsorship commitment in professional golf. It's also China's national open title and the longest running professional golf tournament in China. That's only a couple of the many good reasons why the Volvo China Open enjoys a very strong heritage and unique position in China and around the world.
Next year, the Volvo China Open will be played at the Genzon Club in Shenzhen. The tournament dates are April 23-26, 2020. However, including qualifiers and promotions, it's become an all year around platform of activities.
Please join us on November 28, 2019 at 18:30, at the Volvo Studio in Beijing to hear more about the Volvo China Open from Volvo Cars Vice President of Communications Michel Zhao and PROgressive Golf Management CEO Anders Davidsson.
