Singapore’s national open will once again take centre stage as the Moutai Singapore Open returns to The Singapore Island Country Club (SICC) this week. Recognised as one of Asia’s most historic championships, the tournament will bring together a world-class field and serve as an important platform for both international stars and Singapore’s leading golfers to shine on home soil.

Fans can anticipate an exciting week of golf, with several of the LIV Golf League’s top players set to compete, having secured their places for next season by finishing inside the tour’s “Lock Zone” (top 24). Among them are Talor Gooch, the 2023 LIV Golf Individual Champion, who finished in sixth position in the final individual player standings, and Thomas Pieters, a six-time European Tour winner.

They will be joined by Crushers GC teammates Paul Casey and Charles Howell III, who have both delivered consistent performances throughout the season, contributing to Crushers GC’s three team victories and second-place finish in the league’s team standings.

Beyond the LIV Golf contingent, spectators will witness some of the Asian Tour’s most in-form players in action. Scott Vincent, who currently leads The International Rankings, will aim to secure a second International Series title this season after his success in Morocco. Japan’s Kazuki Higa, the current leader on the Asian Tour Order of Merit, will seek to extend his impressive 2025 campaign, highlighted by victories at the Yeangder TPC and the 41st Shinhan Donghae Open, along with four additional top-10 finishes.

Miguel Tabuena from the Philippines, winner of the International Series Philippines two weeks ago, is also here. He is second on the Rankings and third on the merit list.

Adding to the excitement is the participation of Luke Kwon, one of the most recognisable digital golf personalities worldwide, with a social media and YouTube following exceeding 600,000.

Flying the flag for Singapore will be Mardan Mamat, the nation’s most accomplished professional golfer. A trailblazer for the sport locally, he became Singapore’s first Asian Tour winner at the Indian Open in 2004, the first to triumph in a co-sanctioned event with the European Tour, at the 2006 Singapore Masters, and the first to qualify for The Open in 1997. He will be joined by a talented group of local professionals and emerging amateurs, competing proudly in front of local supporters.

Alongside the world-class golf on offer, spectators can enjoy a welcoming tournament atmosphere at the Fan Village, where light bites and drinks will be available throughout the week. Fans can also visit the SPARMS photo booth and retail area to buy sun-protection sleeves, while a large outdoor LED screen with seating allows fans to relax and comfortably watch the live broadcast between the action on the course.

The Moutai Singapore Open will be open to the public free of charge. Fans can register for free tickets through Eventbrite.
