December's LIVING GOLF is in Shanghai China for the new ‘Race to Dubai'. This marks the official start of the 2009 European Tour schedule with the HSBC Champions event. The program looks at the revamp of the Tour, how its now only "European' by name but not by nature and also asking how the Tour can offer more money with the world in the grip of the credit crunch. LIVING GOLF then takes a step back in time to show viewers how the European Tour has evolved since its inception some 30 years ago.

The continued expansion of the European Tour has helped promote the game in China, but it is not just at the professional level that golf is making a difference. CNN's Emily Chang files a report from Beijing where schools are using the sport to instil good manners to their pupils.

Host Justin Armsden also sits down with the new world number two, Sergio Garcia to gather his thoughts on what it means for the professional game, and to reflect on his most successful but perhaps his most disappointing season to-date.
