As the final stop on the PIF Global Series and the penultimate event on the Golf Saudi-organised Ladies European Tour (LET) calendar, the Aramco China Championship at Mission Hills Shenzhen plays a pivotal role in shaping the season’s Order of Merit, with everything still to play for in the race to the top. RELATED: Lily Muni He’s homecoming in PIF Global Series The tournament will feature a standout lineup of local and international talent, including China’s Ruoning Yin – currently ranked world No. 7 and one of the country’s most prominent golf stars along with Lily Muni He, one of China’s most recognisable talents. Joining them are two-time PIF Global Series winner Alison Lee, current LET Order of Merit leader Shannon Tan, and rising British talent Mimi Rhodes, who sits just behind in second place. As part of its commitment to driving positive change through sport, the Aramco China Championship will once again feature the impactful ‘Birdie for Mammograms’ initiative at the iconic 16th hole. In 2024 there was a total of 1,095 mammograms donated with 595 raised from the Birdie for Mammogram donation and 500 donated by Vista-SK. For every birdie made, 10 mammograms will be donated – and 20 for every eagle – supporting breast cancer screenings in partnership with healthcare provider Vista-SK. This initiative adds a charitable dimension to the tournament, linking on-course performance with community health support.
