The WCGC World Final 2026 returns to China from 19 to 23 October at Qinghe Bay Golf Country Club, bringing together business leaders from around the world.
The World Corporate Golf Challenge (WCGC) will stage the 2026 Guojiao 1573 World Final from 19 to 23 October at Qinghe Bay Golf Country Club in Beijing, with the two competition rounds on 21 and 22 October. Executives, entrepreneurs and golfers from across the WCGC community will gather for a week of competition, networking and shared experiences, the culmination of a season that began with national qualifiers and National Finals around the world.
The 2026 edition marks 33 years since the WCGC began its journey in 1993. It follows the World Finals held in Haikou in 2024 and Shanghai in 2025, and brings the tournament back to the city where the WCGC China Tournament began in 2016.
“This year marks 33 years since the WCGC began its journey in 1993,” said Jose Guerra, WCGC Chairman. “Following the successful World Finals held in Haikou in 2024 and Shanghai in 2025, our return to China confirms the growing importance of Asia within the WCGC and opens new opportunities for the continued development of the tournament across the region.”
Mr. Guerra added: “As we celebrate 33 years of history, we look back with pride, but above all, we look forward with enthusiasm to new opportunities, new connections and a brighter future.”
WCGC World Final 2026 venues
Competition will take place at Qinghe Bay Golf Country Club on two courses. The World Final will be played on Golf Course A in Chaoyang, while the Sports Legends Cup runs in parallel on Golf Course B in Haidian. The wind, undulating terrain and swift greens of deep autumn are expected to make every hole a stern test. The NUO Hotel Beijing serves as the official hotel for players, guests and partners.
Qian Winsen, WCGC China President and Founder of DE Sports, said: “Two rounds of golf and days spent together create space to meet remarkable people. Fairways are bounded, but friendships are boundless.”
The growth of the WCGC in Asia continues through the work of the WCGC Committee, led by Mr. Qian.
