Francesco Molinari returns to the field in the WGC-HSBC Champions (October 26-29), the fourth and last seasonal tournament of the World Golf Championships, the mini world circuit, to which 78 competitors have been admitted. On the route of the Sheshan International GC, in Shanghai in China, as usual in these events, the field is of high quality, even if there are some important defections.
Dustin Johnson, world leader, the Japanese Hideki Matsuyama, number 4, who defends the title, the Spaniard Jon Rahm, number five, the Australian Jason Day, number eight, and the Swede Henrik Stenson, number nine, will be on stage together with all those who are ranked from 11th to 20th.
Unfortunately, the young lions are missing: Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler. Sergio Garcia is also resting after his victory in the Andalucia Masters in Valderrama last Sunday.
The prize pool is 9,750 million dollars, almost 1,4 million are for the former.
