Prize money at the European Tour's Volvo China Open in April has been increased by 20 per cent as it moves to a new venue at Luxehills in the city of Chengdu.
The total purse goes up to more than £1.9m, with the winner's cheque up to £320,000.
"We have all shared in the vision and worked extremely hard to take the Volvo China Open to the next level," said Zhang Xiao-ning, vice-president and secretary general of the China Golf Association.
"With golf in the Olympics in 2016, we envisage a huge rise in the popularity of golf in China and feel sure that the move to Luxehills will inspire many youngsters there and throughout China, and set them on the path towards enjoying the great game of golf."
