The Omega China Tour was launched by the China Golf Association in 2005. It is a development tour intended to produce players who can move up to the Asian Tour or other international tours, and to help accelerate the development of golf in the People's Republic of China, where it was reintroduced in the 1980s after being absent in the early communist era. The tour began with four three day tournaments in 2005, each with a minimum purse of US$100,000. In 2006 there were six four day tournaments, and eight are scheduled for 2007. The tour plans to have ten tournaments in 2008. China has hosted some big money European Tour sanctioned tournaments, but at the launch of the China Golf Tour, the executive vice-president of the China Golf Association Jiang Xiuyun commented, "The future for golf in China – the real, long-term future – is not paying large sums to bring the world’s superstars to play here. It is creating our own stars". [1] The Singapore based World Sports Group was granted a five year contract to organise the events.
