The WGC-HSBC Champions is the fourth and final World Golf Championship of the 2009 season.
It is a 72 hole stroke play event, with no cut.

Tiger Woods will aim to continue his remarkable record in the World Golf Championships when he and world No. 2 Phil Mickelson headline an impressive field in the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions at the Sheshan International Golf Club in Shanghai..

The world No. 1 has enjoyed a decade of dominance in World Golf Championships, claiming an astonishing 16 individual World Golf Championships titles in total. His first triumph came in the World Golf Championships-NEC Invitational at Firestone Country Club in Ohio in August 1999, while his most recent success came a mere two months ago at the same venue in the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational.

Phil Mickelson won the HSBC Champions tournament in 2007.
Lefty tied for eighth in the last HSBC Champions in November 2008 but has already experienced success in the World Golf Championships arena this year. After overcoming a bout of heat exhaustion and dehydration at the Doral Golf Resort and Spa in Florida in March, Mickelson held off a challenge from Nick Watney on the final day to win the World Golf Championships-CA Championship.
