The DP World Tour’s return to Singapore last year after an eight-year hiatus was met with great enthusiasm, culminating in South Africa’s Ockie Strydom emerging victorious at Laguna National. The tournament’s rich history includes legendary moments from Major Champions such as Sir Nick Faldo, Ian Woosnam, Vijay Singh, and Adam Scott, who have all claimed victories on the DP World Tour in Singapore.

One of the most unforgettable moments in Singaporean golfing history occurred during the 2006 Singapore Masters, held at Laguna National, when local favorite Mardan Mamat clinched the trophy in dramatic fashion, edging out England’s Nick Dougherty by a single stroke.

As anticipation mounts for the Porsche Singapore Classic 2024, golf enthusiasts around the world eagerly await the opportunity to witness top-tier talent, thrilling competition, and unforgettable moments against the stunning backdrop of Laguna National Golf Resort Club.
