The 12-year contract, concluded at The European Tour's headquarters at Wentworth, England, will see Mission Hills Golf Club, China, host the Omega Mission Hills World Cup until the year 2018.
The event, although sanctioned by the International Federation of PGA Tours, will not fall under the umbrella of the World Golf Championships. The 2007 Omega Mission Hills World Cup will be staged from Nov. 22-25, 2007.
The World Cup is the oldest and most prestigious global golf team event in the world inviting two-man teams from as many as 28 nations to play.
Omega's involvement in golf includes world class tournaments such as the Omega European Masters in Switzerland on the European Tour International Schedule, and the link-up with Mission Hills will signify a return to Asia where the company had been active with the Asian Tour for many years and is currently the title sponsor of the China Tour.
Golf is an integral part of Omega's sport strategy which is based on its unique role as Official Timekeeper at 23 Olympic Games, including Beijing in 2008.
