Shanghai is a special place for the bank. We opened for business there in 1865 – almost 150 years later it is still central to HSBC. The HSBC Champions, created in November 2005, attracts the world's best players and in 2009 the event was granted World Golf Championship status – the first outside the US to achieve this. This year’s WGC-HSBC Champions will be held at Sheshan Golf Club between 6-9 November. www.hsbcgolf.com/mens HSBC Women’s Champions The HSBC Women’s Champions showcases the best players in the women’s game. Now in its fifth year, the event is often described as ‘Asia’s Major’. Players qualify by winning tournaments on the LPGA Tour or by finishing in the top 20. HSBC Women's Champions serves as a platform to host our best corporate and private customers in a country where we have a long and distinguished heritage. www.hsbcgolf.com/womens Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship The tournament is one of the biggest events on the PGA European Tour, regularly attracting some of golf’s most famous names.
