(Reuters) - The Asian Tour will return to China for the first time since 2008 with up to four new events planned in 2017 in a "game changer" partnership with the China Golf Association, the continental body said on Friday.

The partnership will be a threat to the future of the breakaway OneAsia circuit, which was established in 2009 with a joint venture between the PGA Tour of Australasia, the CGA, the Korean Golf Association and the Korean PGA.
