The 51-year-old Spaniard will be joined by major winners
Justin Rose and Graeme McDowell while big-hitting American
Dustin Johnson and Patrick Reed will also be in action at the
Oct. 22-25 event, co-sanctioned by the European and Asian tours.
"What can I say about Hong Kong I haven't said before?" Jimenez
said in a statement from the organizers. "I love the tournament
and have so much personal history there that it is just a very
special week for me.
"Not many players in the history of the game have won the same
tournament four times, so every time I go to Fanling I feel I
have a great chance to play well and hopefully win.
"I know no-one has won the event five times, so if I can do it
again it would be an unbelievable feeling."
Jimenez lifted the title in 2004, 2005, 2012 and 2013 while
Australian Scott Hend won the tournament last year.
