Here's taking a look at the tee times and pairings for round 1, all set to begin on Wednesday:
The tournament will wrap up on Saturday, October 12, 2024. The Buick Shanghai is a relatively young event,, as this year will mark only it's fourth edition. The event joined the LPGA Tour in 2018 but had to take a brief hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament was not held between 2020 and 2022 owing to the travel restrictions posed by the pandemic. The competition format is a 72-hole stroke play.
The tournament holds significant importance as golfers will strive to earn additional points to qualify for the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship, which will be held in late November in Naples, Italy.
