Singapore Classic Prize Money 2023

Singapore classic field 2023.

The DP World Tour makes its way to the Far East for a new tournament, the Singapore Classic at Laguna National.

It’s the first time since 2014 that Singapore has been on the DP World Tour’s schedule. Back then, Chilean Felipe Aguilar edged out Anders Hansen and David Lipsky by one shot to win 'The Championship at Laguna National'.

Despite its relatively long absence from the country, the DP World Tour (previously called the European Tour) has an association with it going back to 1993 when Nick Faldo won the first-ever Johnnie Walker Classic.

This week, World No.30 Ryan Fox is the highest-ranked player in the field. The New Zealander’s appearance means he plays his fourth consecutive DP World Tour event as he searches for his first win since October's Alfred Dunhill Links Challenge. Meanwhile, Daniel Gavins, who won last week’s Ras al Khaimah Championship despite a final-hole disaster , misses out, but the two players he left tied for runner-up, Alexander Bjork and Zander Lombard, appear.

Other players to look out for include two-time Tour winners Ewen Ferguson and Jordan Smith and 2018 Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn. World No.74 Adrian Otaegui, whose most recent win came in the Andalucia Masters at Valderrama last October, also plays. There’s also an appearance from Robert MacIntyre, who last won in last September’s Italian Open at Ryder Cup venue Marco Simone Golf and Country Club . 

A more recent winner on the DP World Tour, Thriston Lawrence, who claimed victory in December’s South African Open in his homeland, also plays. Dan Bradbury, who won the Joburg Open, Alfred Dunhill Championship winner Ockie Strydom, and AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open champion Antoine Rozner are other relatively recent DP World Tour winners.

Another potentially interesting name in the field is Thai prodigy Ratchanon Chantananuwat, who became the youngest player to win on a tour recognised by the Official World Golf Ranking, the Asian Tour’s Trust Golf Asian Mixed Cup, last April.

Who's In The Field For The Singapore Classic?

World No.30 Ryan Fox is the highest-ranked player in the field. Other players of note include Italian Open champion Robert MacIntyre and 2022 Andalucia Masters winner Adrian Otaegui. 

What Is The Prize Money For The Singapore Classic?

The tournament offers a purse of $2m. That's the same amount that was available in last week's DP World Tour event, the Ras al Khaimah Championship. 

Mike has over 25 years of experience in journalism, including writing on a range of sports throughout that time, such as golf, football and cricket. Now a freelance staff writer for Golf Monthly, he is dedicated to covering the game's most newsworthy stories. 

He has written hundreds of articles on the game, from features offering insights into how members of the public can play some of the world's most revered courses, to breaking news stories affecting everything from the PGA Tour and LIV Golf to developmental Tours and the amateur game. 

Mike grew up in East Yorkshire and began his career in journalism in 1997. He then moved to London in 2003 as his career flourished, and nowadays resides in New Brunswick, Canada, where he and his wife raise their young family less than a mile from his local course. 

Kevin Cook’s acclaimed 2007 biography, Tommy’s Honour, about golf’s founding father and son, remains one of his all-time favourite sports books.

Kaewkanjana also earned a two-year exemption onto the Asian Tour while improving his status in the Asian Tour Order of Merit, where he is now tops on the table.

What is the prize money for the Asian golf Tour?

Answered by Gary Lattimore

The prize money for the Asian golf Tour can vary from tournament to tournament, but I will provide you with an overview of the typical prize money breakdown. It is important to note that the prize money for each tournament is determined by the organizers and sponsors, and can be subject to change.

The 2023 International Series Thailand purse is a notable example, with a total prize money of $2 million. However, the winner’s share is limited to $360,000, which is in line with the standard 18% payout according to the Asian Tour’s prize money distribution chart. This means that the winner will receive 18% of the total prize money.

To give you a better understanding of how the prize money is distributed, let’s break it down further:

1. Winner’s Share: As mentioned earlier, the winner of the event will receive $360,000, which is 18% of the total prize money. This is a significant amount and a great incentive for players to compete at their best.

2. Runner-up and Top Finishers: The prize money for the runner-up and other top finishers will depend on the specific tournament and its prize money distribution structure. Typically, the prize money for the top finishers gradually decreases as the rankings go lower.

3. Cut Line: In most tournaments, there is a cut line after the first two rounds, where only a certain number of players will advance to compete in the final rounds. Players who do not make the cut do not earn any prize money.

4. Other Cash Prizes: Apart from the main tournament purse, there may be additional cash prizes for special achievements, such as hole-in-one awards or longest drive competitions. These prizes are often sponsored by specific companies or organizations.

It is worth noting that the prize money for the Asian golf Tour has been increasing over the years, thanks to the growing popularity of the sport in the region. This provides more opportunities for professional golfers to earn a living and pursue their careers on the tour.

The prize money for the Asian golf Tour varies from tournament to tournament. The 2023 International Series Thailand offers a total purse of $2 million, with the winner’s share being limited to $360,000. The prize money distribution follows the standard 18% payout according to the Asian Tour’s chart. However, it is important to keep in mind that the prize money can vary, and it is always subject to the discretion of the tournament organizers and sponsors.

2024 Porsche Singapore Classic: Prize Money Breakdown and Winner’s Payout

D P World Tour’s Asian Swing kicked off in Singapore this week. The Porsche Singapore Classic is the first of the five stops in Asia for the European Tour. The purse size has increased since the German car manufacturer Porsche became the title sponsor of the event this year. The $425,000 winner’s payout is also topped with Race to Dubai ranking points, DPWT exemptions, and other perks. 

The winner will receive around 14.5 OWGR points. In addition, the points received here will also count towards the Asian Swing rankings. The new DP World Tour structure will crown the Asian Swing champion after the Volvo China Open. For the Asian Swing, the top point-earner will receive an extra $200,000 from the $1M reserved for Swing champions.

Purse breakdown of the 2024 Porsche Singapore Classic

The winner is set to pocket 17% of the total purse size, a standard system across all DP World Tour events. Ockie Strydom bagged $340,000 for the top spot in 2023. The $2.5 million total purse is also a $500,000 bump from last year.  Here is the full purse size breakdown this year.

A packed leaderboard for the Sunday final round

Andy Sullivan of England is on the hunt but is chased by four players who are one shot behind him including Shane Lowry and Paul Casey . Shane Lowry is looking for his maiden title at the Porsche Singapore Classic, after coming extremely close at the Arnold Palmer Invitational (3), and the Cognizant Classic (T4). For Lowry, the problem has become keeping the momentum in the final rounds, which the Irishman desperately wants to change.

Paul Casey, in his first DP World Tour appearance since the 2022 Dubai Desert Classic, is also tied with Lowry for the second spot as of the time the report went to publication. Casey is playing at the Laguna National Golf Resort Club on a sponsor exemption. The LIV Golf Pro has been associated with Porsche since the 2020 US Open. The 46-year-old, who wanted to become a racing driver as a teenager, has sported the Porsche logo on his bag since then. 

Notably, five LIV Golfers have won DP World Tour events this season. Dean Burmester emerged victorious during the JoBurg Open and the Investec South African Open Championship. His Stinger GC teammate, Louis Oosthuizen , repeated the feat in back-to-back weeks in December, first in the Alfred Dunhill Championship and then in the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open. Casey has plenty of inspiration on Sunday.

On the other hand, Matthieu Pavon made his DP World Tour return since earning his way to the PGA Tour last season. The Frenchman is currently tied for the 13th spot on the leaderboard in the Porsche Singapore Classic.

International Series Heading to Tanah Merah

Newcastle, England: The ground-breaking International Series will gather momentum with two events added to the Asian Tour schedule in consecutive weeks in August.

From August 11-14, the Tampines Course at Tanah Merah Country Club will play host to the International Series Singapore.

It’s then onto Korea’s Jeju Island for the International Series Korea at Lotte SkyHill from August 18-21.

Both tournaments will offer US$1.5 million in prize money.

“We’re delighted to confirm the dates and venues for what will be the third and fourth legs of the inaugural International Series in 2022,” said Cho Minn Thant , Commissioner and CEO of the Asian Tour, a Full Business Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation.

“The first two events, in Thailand in March and in England last week, have been resounding successes. Not only have they signified the beginning of our relationship with our strategic partner LIV Golf Investments, but they’ve also marked the start of what promises to be a phenomenal period of growth for the Asian Tour, ” added Cho.

Further International Series events are planned to take place this year in Southeast Asia, North Asia and the Middle East.

The International Series Singapore will see the Asian Tour paying a second visit in 2022 to Tanah Merah, a Facility Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation .

The club’s Tampines Course played host to the penultimate event of the Asian Tour’s Covid-hit 2020-21 season in January which was won by Korean teenager Kim Joo-hyung , who went on to clinch the Asian Tour’s Order of Merit title.

The Asian Tour will then move on to Jeju Island, a familiar destination for the Tour. Owned and operated by Lotte, one of Korea’s largest conglomerates, Lotte SkyHill has 36 holes sculpted by Robert Trent Jones Jr .

Opened in 2005, some of the holes feature distinctive ancient rock formations and old stone walls. The club has staged multiple professional male and female events over the past decade.

The inaugural International Series event was staged at Thailand’s Black Mountain Golf Club at the start of March. Kim Sih-wan marked the momentous week by emerging triumphant in the US$1.5 million International Series Thailand.

Offering a prize fund of US$2 million, the International Series England, the second event in the 2022 Series, concluded on Sunday at Slaley Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort in the northern English city of Newcastle and was won by Scott Vincent from Zimbabwe.

The International Series has added to the Asian Tour’s backbone of established events to comprise an estimated 25-event season, expected to represent a record-breaking combined prize-fund. Each of the events is being broadcast live across the globe.

Cho said: “These events are a massive boost for the Asian Tour. The International Series will set new standards for the Asian Tour in terms of prize purses, staging, player and fan experience and destinations.

“We have seen the competition instantly become a lot stronger with players from all over the world taking note of our transformation.”

Asian Tour makes $25,000 donation to support Singapore’s up and coming golfers

Golf in uae, golf in uae world.

We thank the Asian Tour for this generous gesture, says SGA president Tan Chong Huat

The Asian Tour underlined its commitment to the development of golf in the region today with a donation of $25,000 to the Singapore Golf Association’s Junior Development Programme, at a special presentation ceremony held on the sidelines of the International Series Singapore at Tanah Merah Country Club.

Cho Minn Thant, CEO and commissioner of the Asian Tour, presented the cheque to Singapore Golf Association (SGA) president Mr Tan Chong Huat on day three of the tournament as part of the Tour’s pledge to support communities in the destinations that host the marquee International Series events.

Cho said, “The International Series events are a wonderful opportunity for us to grow the game of golf across the region, both by bringing top talent that generates interest, and by supporting the grassroots game wherever we go. We want our impact to be felt and supporting the SGA in their efforts to grow the game at the junior level is a win-win for all concerned.”

Younger generation

Tan said, “We thank the Asian Tour for this generous gesture. The donation will help us in our mission to grow the game and among the younger generation. The International Series Singapore is an important calendar event, as it puts the game of golf in the spotlight all around the world with a wonderful international field. This will certainly promote golfing interest and encourage participation across all age groups.”

The SGA, the national governing body for golf, is committed to the development and growth of the sport, with a mission and vision to promote golf among junior boys and girls in Singapore, through a framework that enables them to flourish.

Initiatives include a calendar of SGA Junior events, a Junior Development Order of Merit and the Junior Development Programme, a pathway for talented junior boys and girls aged 6 to 12 into the SGA Future Squad.

James Leow, Singapore’s top ranked male amateur golfer, is one of four Singapore amateurs competing on the Tampines Course this weekend. The 25 year-old, who comfortably made the cut for the weekend with a five-under second round of 67 for a three- under aggregate, is a genuine example of the strides being made by local talent thanks to SGA support.

Leow won the Individual Men’s Golf gold medal at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, giving Singapore a first gold in the category in 30 years.

The Asian Tour’s philanthropic efforts are felt at each of the International Series destinations, with donations made to support local communities in the area.

Primary school

At the International Series Thailand, a $25,000 cheque was presented to the Bright Dawn Foundation, which focuses primarily on healthcare and education of primary school children

in lower income areas around rural Hua Hin. A £20,000 donation was also made to Northumberland Union of Golf Clubs, the region’s biggest support of junior golf, at the International Series England.

The International Series Singapore is the first of two back-to-back Asian Tour tournaments offering $1.5m in prize money, with the International Series Korea event taking place next week at the Lotte SkyHill Country Club Jeju on Jeju Island from August 18-21.

Mark Cousins’ portrait of a British modernist painter, “A Sudden Glimpse to Deeper Things,” took the Karlovy Vary Film Festival top prize Saturday, winning over a jury that included Christine Vachon and Geoffrey Rush with its perceptive take on art and seeing.

Cousins said the film’s subject, painter Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, “lived completely, truly and utterly – let’s try to do that.”

The directing prize went to Nelicia Low for the Singapore/Taiwan/Poland production “Pierce,” an intricate account of a family torn by a fencing scandal that may also be a homicide mystery, while the actress nod went to Helga Guren of “Loveable.”

Actor honors were shared by Ton Kas and Guido Pollemans for the lighthearted family tensions story “Three Days of Fish,” a Netherlands/Belgium film directed in monochrome tones by Peter Hoogendoorn.

The powerful refugee camp-set “Xoftex” won a special mention in the Crystal Globe race for its story of Syrian and Palestinian asylum seekers stuck seemingly forever in a grim Greek facility, a French-German film by Noaz Deshe. The chaotic Czech/Slovak family take “Our Lovely Pig Slaughter” by Adam Martinec also won special mention.

Karlovy Vary fest section Proxima, now in its third year, focuses on emerging filmmakers from around the world and honored “Stranger” by Zhengfan Yang, a highly international production that episodically explores lives lived in a Chinese hotel room.

The Proxima special jury prize went to Paolo Tizón’s drama from Peru, Spain and Mexico, “Night Has Come,” which follows trainees at a hardcore military boot camp for soldiers fighting off drug cartels in South America.

The Pravo Audience Award went to the Czech/Slovak Cold War radio resistance drama “Waves,” directed by Jiri Madl, which generated buzz throughout the Czech spa town of Karlovy Vary all week. Another story that turns on radio waves, Ireland’s rowdy rap comedy “Kneecap,” by Rich Peppiatt, did not score a prize on Saturday but played to sold out cinemas all week and is expected to continue building.

The Karlovy Vary fest also honored actors Daniel Brühl, Clive Owen, Viggo Mortensen and Ivan Trojan for standout cinematic work, hosting each with a tribute to their onscreen personas, along with influential film industry mavens Steven Soderbergh and casting director Francine Maisel, who shared insights on such work as the “Oceans’s Eleven” franchise and “Succession.”

In accepting his prize Saturday, Owen praised Karlovy Vary fest president Jiri Bartoska, who this year marks three decades spent building up the event, Central Europe’s premier film showcase, for its impact on filmmakers just starting their careers. Such fests are “more important, vital and needed than ever,” the actor said.

The fest also carried on its tradition of curating diverse work thematically linked, this year exploring a dozen iterations of Franz Kafka interpretations, including Soderbergh’s own “Kafka,” the last U.S.-made film shot under the auspices of the pre-Velvet Revolution Czechoslovak regime in 1991.
