No confirmation but Last time World ladies was played in 2019 Reanne Evans was in so no reason to change that.

By then the European Masters will have been played again but I assume last year's winner will still get to play in the 2022 CofC. In any case, Fan Zhengyi is currently still in China playing a teams event in Xi'an so may not make it back to defend his title.

More done to help promote the ladies.


I hope they have to still play as a team. It'd be like Blockbusters.

Will they still snake hiss themselves laughing every time somebody says; "I'll have a P please Bob"?

Assuming defending champions continue to be seeded number one Fan Zhengyi will play his European Masters first round match mid-August in Germany. Prior to that he may have a British Open qualifier in England the week before.

Looks like a sensible decision to take the opportunity for an extended close season break from the professional tour missing just the bloated Championship League.

He won The Seniors.


I say after googling it to confirm. <laugh>


Ah, ok. For a minute there, I thought somebody may have let him in by mistake.

Does feel a bit strange though to see someone like him in the line-up.

Usually when there's a "Why are they there?" moment at the CoC, it's because they won The Seniors.

It was David Lilley last year, wasn't it?

Ahh ok. I'd assume the majority of invitees to Hong Kong will largely be already qualified players so possibly looking good for Walker

He is.
But he is the last on the alternate list and need 2 (I think, not sure) more tournaments win by a player already qualified.
