Grand China Air LPGA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grand China Air LPGA was a golf tournament on the American LPGA Tour and was the first LPGA event to be played in China. The event was played in Haikou , China . For purposes of qualification for the season-ending LPGA Playoffs at The ADT , it was a "standard" event, which means that players earn points toward the playoffs, but the winner does not receive an automatic playoff spot.

The title sponsor was Grand China Air , a Beijing-based airline founded in 2007.

The inaugural event was played in 2008, at the Haikou West Golf Club. The tournament was to be played a minimum of three years but was played only in 2008.
