The 2024 China Tour, titled as the 2024 Moutai 1935 China Tour for sponsorship reasons, is the 10th season of the China Tour, the main professional golf tour in China since separating from PGA Tour China in 2017.
Moutai 1935 title sponsorship
[edit]In April, it was announced that the tour had signed a title sponsorship agreement with Moutai 1935, being renamed as the Moutai 1935 China Tour.[1]
European Tour strategic alliance formalisation
[edit]In January, it was announced by the European Tour that they had formalised their strategic alliance with the China Golf Association. The agreement would see the leading player on the China Tour Order of Merit earn status to play on the European Tour (DP World Tour) for the following season (which has already been in place since 2017). Additionally the next player on the Order of Merit would earn status to play on the Challenge Tour for the following season. The Volvo China Open was also confirmed as a co-sanctioned event for the 2024 season.[2]
