The 2019 WGC-HSBC Champions was a golf tournament played from 31 October – 3 November 2019 at the Sheshan Golf Club in Shanghai, China. It was the eleventh WGC-HSBC Champions tournament, and the fourth of four World Golf Championships events held in the 2019 calendar year.

Rory McIlroy beat defending champion Xander Schauffele at the first hole of a sudden-death playoff after making a birdie 4 to Schauffele's par 5. It is his first WGC-HSBC Champions victory, and third World Golf Championship win overall, having already won the WGC Match Play and WGC Invitational.
