European Tour strategic alliance formalisation
editIn 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]
