HONG KONG : The Aramco Team Series said on Wednesday that its plans to stage an inaugural golf tournament in Hong Kong in October would go ahead after the financial centre's government said it would lend back land temporarily to clear the way for the competition.
That means eight holes on one course would fall under the management of the government. The change had initially led the ATS to reconsider hosting the event in the city, as it said the land provides critical infrastructure to enable VIP guest and visitor experiences that are an integral part of its events.
Victoria Jones, championship director of the Saudi-backed Aramco Team Series, said it was thankful to the Hong Kong government for making the 32 hectares available.
