Teeing off and more at HSBC event

WHEN the 2016 edition of the HSBC Women's Champions tees off next week, not only will it once again have a field of the best female talent in the professional ranks, it will also have some added sparkle with a range of music and food line-ups over the four-day tournament.

Take That, the celebrated UK pop band, will return to Singapore for the first time in over two decades for a one-off concert, and there will be other acts including the electronic dance music artist Jack Novak from Chicago. MasterChef host Monica Galetti will also be cooking up a storm during the tournament.

The ninth edition of this tournament has attracted 63 women golfers who have qualified either through their top-20 ranking, their inclusion on the 2016 LPGA Priority List, having a sponsor invite, being 2015 LPGA tournament winners or having won the HSBC event for the past two years.
