The fourth and penultimate Aramco Team Series event of the year will be held at Shenzhen's Mission Hills Resort, one of the best courses in China.
The action takes place over three days, with simultaneous team and individual competitions.
The team competition takes place over the first two days, with an amateur joining three professionals on each of the 28 teams of four.
The captains, who are chosen based on their world ranking on 23 September, choose a professional to join them. Another is selected via a draw and an amateur completes each four-player team. The best two scores on each team count towards the overall score.
Over the three days, an 84-player field of professionals also contests an individual strokeplay event, with a cut after the second round meaning the final day involves only the top-60 professionals and ties.
The event's prize money is $1m, shared equally between the team competition and individual competition. The individual event also offers Rolex World Ranking and LET Order of Merit points.
The winner of the individual contest receives $75,000, while $105,000 is typically awarded to the winning team. Below is the prize money breakdown for the individual event.
