China, Australia share new golf tournament

The women's golf tours in Australia and China are co-sanctioning a new professional tournament to be staged in Sydney in April.

Australian women's golf is getting a new professional tournament co-sanctioned with the China LPGA.

The inaugural Australia Classic will be played at Sydney's Twin Creeks Golf and Country Club from April 17-19.

Twenty five players from the China LPGA will fly in to compete with 25 ALPG Tour players and four sponsor invitees for a share of the $150,000 prizemoney.

"This is a landmark occasion for the ALPG, teaming up for the first time with the China LPGA Tour in a co-sanctioned event," said ALPG CEP Karen Lunn.

"The Chinese players are really making their mark on the world stage and the China LPGA Tour is growing rapidly and producing some outstanding young players.

"We look forward to a long and successful working relationship with the CLPGA and our hosts at the outstanding Twin Creeks Golf and Country Club."
