After five years of ups and downs, the Volvo China Open has finally returned to the DP World Tour schedule in the long-awaited eyes of many. It will take place from May 2 to 5 at Hidden Grace Golf Club in Shenzhen.
As the event returns to the DP World Tour, the total prize fund for the event will also increase from $1.5 million in 2023 to $2.25 million. Therefore, the Volvo China Open will become the professional golf event with the highest total prize fund in the Chinese mainland in 2024.
Founded in 1995, the Volvo China Open is the longest-running international professional golf tournament in the Chinese mainland and the most influential national golf open championship in China.
