The 2011 WGC-HSBC Champions was a golf tournament played from 3–6 November 2011 at the Sheshan Golf Club in Shanghai, China. It was the third WGC-HSBC Champions tournament, and the fourth of four World Golf Championships events held in 2011. Former PGA Champion Martin Kaymer surged through the final day field to claim his first WGC win.[1][2]

Kaymer's 268 (−20) winning total was the lowest since the tournament became a World Golf Championship, and matched the lowest in the history of the HSBC Champions, set by David Howell in 2005, before WGC status was awarded.[3]
