East Meets West at the Center of Asian Golf: Danielle Kang and LET Stars Head to Mission Hills for $2M Aramco China Championship as Part of the PIF Global Series

Golf Saudi, in partnership with Aramco, is set to conclude the 2026 PIF Global Series with the Aramco China Championship, staged from November 5–8 at the world-renowned Mission Hills Resort Shenzhen with a $2 million prize purse.

The season finale will assemble an elite international field headlined by Major champion Danielle Kang, alongside standout competitors from the Ladies European Tour (LET) and the China LPGA Tour (CLPGA). Featuring top global names and Asia’s most promising rising talents, the event marks the culmination of a landmark season that continues to elevate women’s professional golf on the world stage.

"Competing in Asia always brings special energy, and Mission Hills is one of those iconic venues every golfer knows about. The depth of young talent coming out of China and across Asia right now is incredible; they are fearless, they make birdies in bunches, and with a $2 million purse on the line to close out the PIF Global Series, you know you have to bring your absolute best game from Thursday morning.", said Danielle Kang.

Recognised by Guinness World Records as the world’s largest golf facility, Mission Hills Shenzhen provides a fitting backdrop for the series climax, underscoring Golf Saudi’s ongoing commitment to championing female athletes and expanding premier competitive pathways worldwide.

While the international headliners bring the global resume, the demographic story of the week belongs to the Asian contingent waiting for them on the first tee. Nearly half of the confirmed CLPGA entries were born between 2005 and 2010, representing an extraordinary generational surge in Asian women’s golf. That charge is led by 17-year-old Ren Yijia, the current leader of the 2026 CLPGA Points Ranking, 16-year-old newly crowned Women’s China Open amateur champion Liu Yujie, and LPGA member, also CLPGA standout Zeng Liqi. They are bolstered by a powerhouse Southeast Asian contingent featuring Thai standout Natthakritta Vongtaveelap, multiple Thai LPGA winner Kultida Pramphun, and 18-year-old Malaysian SEA Games gold medalist Ng Jing Xuen.

For the global golf ecosystem, the week in Shenzhen serves as the culmination of a landmark year for Golf Saudi and the PIF Global Series. Spanning five premier 72-hole stroke-play tournaments across Saudi Arabia, the United States, the United Kingdom, South Korea, and China with a $15 million total series prize fund, the PIF Global Series has cemented itself as a cornerstone of the women’s golf calendar. Through sustained investment from Golf Saudi and title partner Aramco, the series has bridged international tours, delivered life-changing financial opportunities for female athletes, and brought elite women’s golf to iconic championship venues around the globe.

The 2026 Aramco China Championship takes place November 5–8 at Mission Hills Resort China in Shenzhen. Following a 36-hole cut to the top 60 professionals and ties, the champion will be crowned on Sunday afternoon.
