Defending champion Yin Ruoning to headline star-studded field for Buick LPGA Shanghai's October homecoming
SHANGHAI, China: China's top golfer Yin Ruoning will be back to defend her title at this year's Buick LPGA Shanghai, which takes place at the Shanghai Qizhong Garden Golf Club from October 9-12. As the first event of the 2025 LPGA Tour's Fall Asian Swing, the US$2.2 million tournament will bring together the world's top female golfers for a thrilling showdown, eagerly awaited by Chinese fans. Jointly sanctioned by the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) and the China LPGA (CLPGA), the Buick LPGA Shanghai will feature 81 players competing in a no-cut format. In last year's tournament, Yin delivered a career-defining performance by carding eight birdies in a blistering final round for a record-breaking 25-under-par total. She finished a massive six shots ahead of Japan's Mao Saigo and Korean Sei Young Kim. As a graduate of the Buick Junior Golf Programme, Yin's rise to the top is a powerful testament to the tournament's role in nurturing future champions. Hailing from Shanghai, she maintains a unique connection to the Buick LPGA Shanghai with her journey tracing an extraordinary arc through the tournament's history: attending as a spectator (2018), claiming low amateur honours via a Buick Junior Programme exemption (2019), making her professional debut (2023), and ultimately seizing the championship trophy before a roaring home crowd (2024). 'The Buick LPGA Shanghai holds a special place in my heart,' said Yin. 'It has witnessed my growth and opened the door for countless young Chinese players to pursue their dreams. I am deeply grateful to the Buick brand for its lasting support of me, junior golf, and the overall development of the sport in China.' Riding the momentum of her home victory, Yin also hoisted her fifth LPGA trophy at the Maybank Championship in Malaysia two weeks later to cement her status among China's new generation of elite players. Her story exemplifies how the Buick LPGA Shanghai has contributed to the rise of Chinese women's golf. He Fengxiang, President of the China Golf Association, noted: 'The Buick LPGA Shanghai is not only a world-class competitive platform but also a cornerstone initiative for elevating China's golf standards and expanding junior participation. It helps players transition from junior to professional ranks and showcases the intergenerational rise of Chinese women's golf. "Critically, it is also a strategic platform for Olympic preparation, the tournament supports talent development for the 2028 Los Angeles Games and builds momentum toward the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. We firmly believe that more young Chinese players will reach the global stage through this event." The Buick LPGA Shanghai traces its origins to the 2014 Buick Invitational and 2015 Buick Championship, achieving dual LPGA-CLPGA sanctioning under its current identity in 2018. The tournament's legacy boasts six Olympic medallists, including former Buick ambassador Feng Shanshan (Bronze, Rio 2016), current Buick ambassador Lin Xiyu (Bronze, Paris 2024), and Major champions Lydia Ko (Gold, Paris 2024) and Nelly Korda (Gold, Tokyo 2020). Chris Madsen, Managing Director of LPGA Asia-Pacific Region, stressed that the Buick LPGA Shanghai has solidified its strategic position within the LPGA's global landscape: 'China represents a crucial market within the LPGA's global strategic footprint. We are honoured to partner with Buick, our long-term collaborator, to establish a world-class women's golf tournament in China. " Today, the Buick LPGA Shanghai has become one of the most influential LPGA events in Asia and continues to inject strong momentum into women's golf worldwide.' - LPGA
