Asian Tour returning to Singapore for US$1.25 million season-ending finale at Sentosa Golf Club
- Prize fund boosted by US$250,000 as event returns to city state for first time since 2020
- Order of Merit winner will also be decided during next month’s tournament on the Serapong Course
The Asian Tour returns to Singapore next month for the final event of the 2020-21 season, with an increased prize fund of US$1.25 million also up for grabs at the SMBC Singapore Open.
After a hiatus this year because of the coronavirus pandemic the tour will be back at the Serapong Course at the Sentosa Golf Club, and the city state’s premier men’s championship will decide who is crowned the tour’s Order of Merit winner.
“We are very pleased that the SMBC Singapore Open will be returning in 2022,” Cho Minn Thant, the Asian Tour CEO, said. “The tournament has always been popular among players and fans, and we are confident that event organisers and partners are working hard to put together a high-quality event that is safe for all involved.”
The last time the tour visited the Serapong Course, American Matt Kuchar, pulled off a stunning comeback in the final round to win the tournament with an 18-under par total, turning the tables on Justin Rose, who finished second, three shots back.
Next month’s event, which is jointly sanctioned by the Asian Tour and Japan Golf Tour Organization, will take place from January 20 to 23.
