WP:TOOSOON. Doesn't meet NEVENT/GNG and won't unless it happens. China has cancelled all international sporting event for the year, so there's a very real possibility this event will not happen:

Note to closer for soft deletion: This nomination has had limited participation and falls within the standards set for
lack of quorum. There are no previous AfD discussions, undeletions, or current redirects and no previous PRODs have been located. This nomination may be eligible for

Keep Had this article been made in the early part of this year, as it would have been in previous years, this deletion discussion would never have even happened. And as it is, there is currently nothing in the news to suggest that the tournament referred to in the article isn't going to go on as planned. Therefore, there never was, nor is there now, a valid reason to remove the article.

Even though this event is still listed in the published event schedules of both the PGA Tour and the European Tour, there is strong evidence that the event will not occur as scheduled. Even if the event were to occur, specific details would likely be distinct from prior years due to the current state of the world. There is no need for this page at this time, as any information about cancellation would properly belong in
WGC-HSBC Champions.

Comment. Having hidden the field section (as unsourced OR)
permalink, we can more easily see what content there is – scheduled dates, venue, and possible/probable cancellation (all with extremely limited coverage) – i.e. not enough to meet our guidelines for events (
WP:NEVENT,
WP:NSPORTSEVENT) , which is why these articles are routinely deleted or redirected to the main article. wjematherplease leave a message...09:46, 10 August 2020 (UTC)reply
Redirect to
WGC-HSBC Champions. An event that likely isn't going to happen and there is minimal coverage for should be redirected to parent article. If necessary, one sentence about the "in doubt" status of the 2020 version can be added to that article. The argument that there is "nothing...to suggest that...[it] isn't going to go on as planned" is myopic, at best.
