Singapore Open (golf)

About

The Singapore Open is a professional golf tournament in Singapore that has been predominantly part of the Asian Tour schedule. The event is one of the region’s most prestigious National Opens – having been played since the early 1960s. It is owned by the Singapore Golf Association (SGA) and is the country’s flagship golf tournament. Since 2017 the event has been part of the Open Qualifying Series, giving up to three non-exempt players entry into The Open Championship.

The Singapore Open was first played in 1961 and was one of the tournaments on the first season of the Far East Circuit (later the Asia Golf Circuit) the following year. It remained part of the Asia circuit until 1993 when it became a fixture on the Australasian Tour. After just 3 seasons, it left the Australasian Tour to join the fledgling Asian Tour for that tour's second season in 1996. The event was also co-sanctioned with the European Tour from 2009 to 2012, and with the Japan Golf Tour since 2016. Since 2025 it has been part of The International Series, the upper-tier level of events on the Asian Tour that provide a pathway to the LIV Golf League.
