The Singapore Women's Open is a professional golf tournament held in Singapore. It was first played in 1987 as the Singapore Ladies Open, and is from 2022 part of the Ladies Asian Tour and LPGA of Korea Tour.[1]

History

[edit]

The Singapore Ladies Open was part of the Ladies Asian Golf Circuit between 1987 and 1996.[2] In 2020, a Singapore Ladies Open sponsored by Hana Financial Group was slated to return but was postponed due to the pandemic, and the inaugural LPGA of Korea Tour co-sanctioned event was held in 2022. With a prize purse of S$1.1 million, it was the second most lucrative women's golf tournament in the country after the S$2.4 million HSBC Women's World Championship.[3]
