In order to ensure the health and safety of the participating players and related personnel, under the guidance and advice of the Chinese Golf Association, Volvo Cars and Zhengzhong Golf Club, taking into account the current epidemic situation, it is solemnly decided that the 27th Volvo China Open will be held from December 16 to 19, and no external audience will be allowed to enter the game, and the scene will be limited to participating players, referees, staff and other necessary technical support personnel.
"As a national open, the preparatory process for the Volvo China Open was fully supported by the relevant departments of the governments of Guangdong Province, Shenzhen Municipality and Longgang District. In order to ensure the health and safety of all participants involved in the tournament, under the guidance and advice of the territorial government, the China Golf Association, the Board of Directors of volvo China Open and the Shenzhen Zhengzhong Golf Club actively communicated and adopted extremely strict epidemic prevention measures. Mr. Pang Zheng, vice chairman and secretary general of the China Golf Association, said at the pre-match press conference, "According to the current domestic epidemic prevention situation, after careful study by the organizing committee, strictly follow the suggestions of the relevant departments to close the venue, and limit the scene to participating players, referees, staff and other necessary technical support personnel, so as to minimize the number of people present to ensure the safety of the event." ”
Pang Zheng
Although the venue was closed, Mr. Pang Zheng believed that this tournament would, as always, leave many unforgettable and enjoyable stories for Chinese golf. "In the context of the current normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the volvo China Open can continue to be held, which is a great thing for the Chinese golf industry, and it will certainly play an important role for Chinese players to prepare for the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and even the 2024 Paris Olympic Games." We are pleased to see that this year's competition has attracted three generations of Chinese players from old, middle and young people to Shenzhen, including three former champions Zhang Lianwei, Li Haotong and Zhang Huilin, as well as the new generation of strength youngsters Ding Wenyi and Wu Dianchao. The 27th Volvo China Open is the highest-money men's professional golf tournament in China this year and the final battle of the 2021 China Men's Professional Tour. After two years of long seasons and 10 games, we will witness the birth of the tour prize king in the 2020-21 season in Shenzhen, a hot land that creates dreams. According to the strategic cooperation agreement between the China Golf Association and the European Tour (now the DP World Tour), the prize king born this week will receive a full card for next season's DP World Tour, which will undoubtedly further improve the level of golf competition in China and provide a strong impetus for the Chinese Tour to move forward. ”
Zhao Qin
Ms. Qin Zhao, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Volvo China Open and Vice President of Corporate & Marketing Communications for Volvo Cars Asia Pacific, expressed her full support for the organizing committee's decision to close the venue. "The Volvo China Open, which was scheduled to take place from November 4 to 7, was postponed to this week due to the COVID-19 pandemic," she said. According to Secretary General Pang Zheng, in order to ensure the health and safety of all participating players and staff to the greatest extent, after research, it was unanimously decided that this Volvo China Open would be closed. In order to ensure that the majority of golf enthusiasts can still watch the game as scheduled, we have carefully prepared various channels for everyone to watch the game, such as TV, Internet and mobile terminals. ”
Ms. Zhao Qin also mentioned that although the event is closed, the event's application to join the GEO organization will not change: "In response to the tide of environmental protection and sustainable development, volvo China Open has submitted an application to the golf environmental governance organization since this year, fully accepting the guidance and supervision of the organization. Through various sustainability initiatives, we are committed to creating a Volvo China Open that is 'sustainable for both players and events'. ”
Kong Weidong
Kong Weidong, general manager of Shenzhen Zhengzhong Golf Club, said on behalf of the stadium: "This year's epidemic prevention situation is grim, as the host venue of the event, we have been working closely with the organizing committee before the game to formulate a thorough epidemic prevention plan. Next, we will strictly implement the epidemic prevention deployment of the China Golf Association and the Organizing Committee of the Event, uphold high standards and strict requirements, prepare all staff, and strive to present a wonderful event for everyone with full enthusiasm. ”
Kong Weidong also pointed out that in addition to epidemic prevention, the club, as a sustainable certification course for GEO Golf, will also cooperate with the organizing committee's application for GEO event certification to jointly build the Volvo China Open into a Chinese men's professional green event, and he believes that the successful holding of the event will create valuable spiritual wealth for Shenzhen: "Zhengzhong and Volvo China Open can be described as deep roots, since the successful holding of the 20th Volvo China Open in 2014, the Zhengzhong Club has hosted this competition for three consecutive years. We hope to take Shenzhen, a pioneer city, as the background, show the multiple dimensions of golf and spirit from the perspective of humanities and cities, and promote the popularization and development of golf. It has played an active role in Shenzhen's urban construction, international exchanges and the improvement of urban humanities. ”
