SINGAPORE - ASIA'S two biggest golf tournaments, the Barclays Singapore Open and the HSBC Champions in Shanghai, have swapped dates this year, organisers said on Monday.
The HSBC Champions, won last year by world number two Phil Mickelson, will now be played a week earlier from Nov 6-9.
The Singapore Open, which Angel Cabrera claimed in 2007 ahead of Vijay Singh, has been pushed back till Nov 13-16.
Both tournaments offer US$5 million (S$6.9 million) in prize money.
No reason was given for the switch, although the HSBC tournament would have clashed with the season-ending Masters tennis tournament, also in Shanghai.
