The Hong Kong Open is Hong Kong's oldest professional sporting event.

Beginning in 1959, the Hong Kong Open became part of The European Tour International Schedule in the 2002 season and has a rich history of winners including nine different Major Champions who have amassed 25 Major titles between them.

UBS, the diversified global financial services company, has been title sponsor of the event since 2005 during which time it has overseen a substantial rise in the tournament's prize money.

Under the stewardship of UBS, the total prize fund has increased every year from US$1.2 million in the 2006 season to US$2.5 million.

Ian Poulter, the winner of the event, pocketed a cheque for US$416,660, compared to the US$200,000 won by Colin Montgomerie four years ago.

Frenchman Grégory Bourdy is the defending champion for the 2010 edition of the UBS Hong Kong Open - which will be co-sanctioned by The European Tour, the Asian Tour and the Hong Kong Golf Association (HKGA).
