The Americans will also be there for the occasion: the appointment is the WGC-HSBC CHAMPIONS, the Asian "major" which takes place from Thursday to Sunday in Shanghai, the second stage of the Final Series of the Race to Dubai and the world championship also included in the calendar Use 2014-2015. The result is that 40 of the top 50 players in the world will be on the field for the tenth anniversary of an event that is experiencing growing importance.
The parade of stars begins with the number two of the world order of merit, the Australian Adam Scott, followed by the number 4 Sergio Garcia, 5 Henrik Stenson, then the winner of the Fedex Cup Billy Hörschel, the Masters champion Bubba Watson; US Open winner Martyn Kaymer; the young lions with stars and stripes Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth, as well as almost all the European protagonists of the Ryder Cup, from Graeme McDowell to Justin Rose. In all there are eighty contenders at the highest level, for a prize pool of 8,5 million dollars, on a field of approximately 6500 meters.
Unfortunately no Italian is part of this red carpet field, although Francesco Molinari is second reserve and not all hopes of seeing him leave are lost. Also missing are world number one Rory McIlory and reigning champion Dustin Jhonson, who has been out of action for a few months after testing positive for cocaine during an anti-doping control.
The forced rest was useful for Dustin to reflect on his behavior, but also to plan a child who will be born in a few months and which, hopefully, will definitely put his head in order.
