SMBC Singapore Open cancelled until 2022

The golf tournament has been traditionally held every January.

The SMBC Singapore Open golf tournament will be held off until next year, the organizers announced.

“While it is truly a shame that the tournament won’t be held this year, we have been involved in the discussions throughout the planning process and are fully supportive of the difficult decision that has been made by Sportfive. We shall all look forward to the return of the SMBC Singapore Open in 2022,” said Ross Tan, president of the Singapore Golf Association.

The US$1m event, jointly sanctioned by the Asian Tour and Japan Golf Tour Organisation, had been traditionally held every January on the Serapong Course at Sentosa Golf Club.

Last year, SMBC Singapore Open took place from January 16-19 with 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Matt Kuchar winning the 18-under par total.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
