As one of the most prestigious golf tournaments in the region, it attracts top players from around the world to compete on the challenging Classic Course at Laguna National Golf Resort Club in Singapore, with famous names such as Rasmus Højgaard, Tom McKibbin and Yannik Paul confirmed to be attending.
The trio will be joined by 2019 Open Champion Shane Lowry, Japan’s Rikuya Hoshino, who won his maiden DP World Tour title at last month’s Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, and Asian stars Kiradech Aphibarnrat, Gavin Green and Li Haotong.
