Viewer’s guide: 2019 WGC-HSBC Champions tee times, TV schedule and purse

Jordan Spieth looks on during a practice round at the WGC-HSBC Champions in China.

Just days after Tiger Woods’ thrilling 82nd PGA Tour victory in Japan, the Tour heads to China for the final event of the Asian swing.

Xander Schauffele returns to defend his title at the WGC-HSBC Champions after beating Tony Finau in a playoff last season, but it won’t be easy with a field that consists of 35 of the top-50 players in the world, which includes Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Jordan Spieth and Phil Mickelson.

This week is also the final audition for players vying for Presidents Cup spots. Both captains (Ernie Els and Woods) make their captain’s picks next week to finalize their rosters for December’s event. Spieth and Mickelson are among the players who will need a pick if they are to join the U.S. roster.

Everything you need to know for the 78-player, no-cut WGC-HSBC Champions is below, including the TV schedule, tee times and more. Shanghai is 12 hours ahead of the east coast in the U.S., so first-round action begins on Wednesday night in the States.
