A strong team of 11 local golfers will represent Singapore at the Moutai Singapore Open 2025, held from 6 to 9 November at The Singapore Island Country Club (SICC). With both seasoned professionals and emerging amateurs in the line-up, fans can look forward to seeing local talent compete on one of the biggest stages in regional golf.
This year’s field features eight professionals and three amateurs, all aiming to leave their mark on their national open. Representing Singapore are professionals Mardan Mamat, Nicklaus Chiam, Gregory Foo, Ryan Ang, James Leow, Dengshan Koh, Qi Wen Wong, and Marc Ong, alongside amateurs Brayden Lee, Troy Storm, and Justin Kuk.
Singapore’s most accomplished golfer, Mamat, will make his 23rd appearance at the Singapore Open – the tournament where he made his professional debut in 1994, marking the occasion with a hole-in-one.
The 57-year-old is also the only player in this year’s field who competed in the Singapore Open when it was last held at SICC, having participated in the 1995 and 2000 editions.
Over a career spanning three decades, Mamat has paved the way for Singapore golf, becoming the nation’s first winner on the Asian Tour at the Indian Open in 2004, the first to secure a co-sanctioned title with the European Tour, and the first to qualify for The Open in 1997.
Among his five Asian Tour victories, his most memorable was on home soil at the 2006 OSIM Singapore Masters, where he led from start to finish to secure an emotional triumph.
“It’s always an honour to play in front of a home crowd,” said Mamat. “The Singapore Open has been such a big part of my journey since day one, and to be back competing at SICC is truly special.”
On the other end, rising star Brayden Lee signifies the next wave of Singapore golf.
The 18-year-old first gained public attention when he took part in the ‘Beat the Pro’ challenge at the Singapore Open as a nine-year-old, a fan experience that put him right in the thick of professional golf. Now, he returns to the tournament as one of Singapore’s top amateurs, competing in his second national open.
Lee is having a remarkable 2025 season, winning the Royal Junior in Thailand, qualifying for and competing in the Porsche Singapore Classic, and representing Singapore at the recent World Amateur Team Championships on home soil, helping Singapore achieve its best-ever finish in a tied-18th place.
“It was incredible when I first competed at the Singapore Open in 2022,” said Lee. “To be back again, in front of family, friends, and the home crowd, means so much to me. I can’t wait to give it my all and make the most of this opportunity.”
Joshua Ho, Chief Executive Officer of the Singapore Golf Association, said: “The Singapore Open is a key event on the golfing calendar, and it’s return presents a valuable opportunity for our local players to test themselves against some of the region’s finest golfers. We look forward to seeing them deliver strong performances in front of the home crowd next month. This is also an important milestone for Singapore’s golf ecosystem to further grow the sport’s popularity.”
With a prize purse of US$2 million, the Moutai Singapore Open is part of The International Series, 10 upper-tier events on the Asian Tour that provide a pathway to the LIV Golf League. The event promises world-class competition, engaging activities for fans, and the return of the popular ‘Beat the Pro’ challenge, which will be held on Hole 8 of Millennium (The New Course) at SICC.
The Moutai Singapore Open will be open to the public free of charge. Fans can register for free tickets through Eventbrite.
