"It was important for me to play more events and playing against top players every week helped keep me sharp," Geary said. "The courses have been very tough over there which I guess separated the top players from the rest of the field a bit. The events were very well put together and we played for some pretty good money as well.
"It would have been nice to have finished number one. I ended up not playing the last two events and instead played in Australia at the Open and PGA. It was kind of hard to say no to those two. I weighed up the goal of playing at the Olympics next year and they had more weighting points available, also British Open spots and playing for probably six times the money."
To make his Olympic dream come true, third-ranked Kiwi Geary needs to get past second-placed Ryan Fox to join Danny Lee in Rio. He knows good form early next year in the US could make that happen.
Geary would be welcome back in China. "Josh's three victories speak for themselves. To win 25 per cent of our tournaments is a tremendous accomplishment," Greg Carlson, PGA Tour China Series executive director, said.
"He should transition well to the Web.com Tour, having already played over there. His professional golf experience really showed through this year in China."
