The Ladies European Tour (LET) ends its Asian swing this week with the Aramco China Championship staged on the World Cup Course at Mission Hills China. This week sees the fifth and final event of the 2026 PIF Global Series, after the PIF Saudi Ladies International, Aramco Championship, PIF London Championship and Aramco Korea Championship took place earlier this year. It is the third year in a row that the tournament has been held on the World Cup Course at Mission Hills China. The tournament is co-sanctioned between the LET and the CLPGA with a field of 108 players competing for a $2 million USD prize fund. The format is a 72-hole stroke play competition with a cut to the top 60 professionals and ties after 36 holes. Home star Ruixin Liu is the defending champion having secured a three-stroke victory on the World Cup Course in 2025. It was a special week for Liu who lives at Mission Hills China and 2025 was the first time she had played a professional event in Shenzhen since turning professional in 2017. There are four LET Order of Merit winners in the field this week with South Africa’s Lee-Anne Pace (2010), Singapore’s Shannon Tan (2025) and Thailand’s Trichat Cheenglab (2023) joined by South Africa’s Casandra Alexander (2026). Alexander clinched the LET Order of Merit title for this season by triumphing at last week’s Wistron Ladies Open, which was her third LET win of 2026. The South African star is also the best-ranked player in the field as she sits at number 23 in the Rolex Rankings. The Aramco China Championship will take place at Mission Hills China from Thursday November 5 until Sunday November 8.

It all comes down to Shenzhen for the PIF Global Series.

With valuable Ladies European Tour Order of Merit points, Rolex World Ranking positioning, and the lion’s share of a lucrative prize purse on the line, the individual stroke-play championship marks the pinnacle conclusion of the 2026 PIF Global Series calendar. Taking on the celebrated World Cup Course at Mission Hills from November 5–8, the elite field will battle over four rounds of pure individual stroke play, bringing head-to-head competitive tension to every hole. Major champion and LPGA standout Danielle Kang headlines an elite international field, bringing world-class star power to Shenzhen alongside fellow Golf Saudi ambassadors Olivia Cowan, Marianne Skarpnord, and powerhouse Dutch star Anne van Dam. Setting the stage for an electrifying cross-continental duel, the global vanguard will face formidable home-soil resistance, spearheaded by defending champion Ruixin Liu and a rising contingent of China’s top talent determined to keep the trophy on domestic ground. Beyond the action inside the ropes, the tournament reflects tournament organiser Golf Saudi’s dedicated vision to championing commercial equity, investment, and global broadcast reach across women’s golf. Through the PIF Global Series, the showcase actively bridges vital economic and sporting corridors connecting the Middle East, Europe, and the booming Asia-Pacific market. Noah Alireza, CEO of Golf Saudi, said: “Shenzhen brings a world-class field to one of the finest venues in Asia, with Order of Merit points on the line and plenty still to play for as the season runs on. From 2027 our support sits behind the Order of Merit across the full Ladies European Tour season, through our multi-year partnership with the Tour. A player earns her living across a whole year rather than in a single week, and we want our investment to work the same way. This season has created life-changing opportunities for players, and we are proud of that. At the heart of everything we do at Golf Saudi is building the game at home in Saudi Arabia and backing this Tour is where careers are made and future golfers can aim for.” Golf Saudi’s work at home to grow the game sits behind everything it supports internationally. More than 15,000 people in the Kingdom have signed up for golf lessons and over 4,000 are on the waiting list, more than a third of them women. Golf Saudi is expanding academies and coaching, including a new program with the LPGA Professionals, a group dedicated to the advancement of golf through teaching, coaching, managing golf facilities and more, with the ambition of growing from around 4,500 active golfers today to more than 30,000 within five years. Global broadcast coverage will reach more than 100 territories worldwide, delivering live action across linear television, regional sports networks, and premier streaming platforms. Comprehensive digital coverage, live scoring, and behind-the-scenes content will be delivered throughout tournament week across official series channels.
