The European Tour is spending the next two weeks in China, this week in Shenzen with a purse of $2.8 million US dollars, next week in Beijing at the Volvo China Open.
None of the big boys are travelling to China for either week except Bubba who is the highest ranked player and has made the trip here for the 3rd time due to a generous sponsor's appearance fee, because the total prize fund for the field is just a million more than Sergio got for winning the Masters. He is not playing next week in Beijing.

Bubba Watson set the clubhouse target but had a strong group of European Tour Members chasing him down after day one of the weather-delayed Shenzhen International.
The big-hitting American posted a -6 66 before an hour and 50 minutes of play was lost in the afternoon due to the threat of lightning at Genzon Golf Club.
South African duo Dean Burmester and Haydn Porteous, Frenchman Grégory Bourdy, Thai Thongchai Jaidee and German Maximilian Kieffer all completed their rounds to sit just a shot back.
Another South African, Dylan Frittelli, was then in the clubhouse at four under, with Dane Thorbjørn Olesen, Spaniard Eduardo de la Riva and Austrian Bernd Wiesberger at the same mark with holes left to complete when play resumes at 0630am local time Friday is6.30 pm (est) tonight here.
