The star line-up at the Porsche Singapore Classic is growing and the 2025 edition of the prestigious DP World Tour tournament is already guaranteed an attractive top international field comprising world-class golfers and Asian title contenders.
Scotland's Robert MacIntyre, a two-time PGA TOUR winner in 2024, will be joined by Porsche Brand Ambassador Paul Casey from England and Major champion Jimmy Walker from USA in the competition for the title and the special prize, a Porsche Taycan Turbo S, at the Laguna National Golf Resort Club from March 20-23. Further top players are also expected to be announced before the entry deadline.
After an impressive performance last year, the former world number three Paul Casey is hoping to win his 16th DP World Tour title in his second outing here. “I am excited to return to Singapore for the Porsche Singapore Classic,” says Casey, who finished sixth at the 2024 Porsche Singapore Classic.
“As a Porsche afficionado, I am honoured to be part of the Porsche family and celebrate our golf initiatives around the world and Singapore is always a special place to visit. You don´t often get the chance to be part of a premium event like this which I am looking forward to. I simply love it here!”
The three-time Ryder Cup winner has already triumphed at a Porsche event – in 2019 at the Porsche European Open near Hamburg, Germany. Last year, Casey had been in contention for the title for a long time when Jesper Svensson won on the Classic Course.
Jimmy Walker, the 2016 PGA Championship victor, has also enjoyed good times at a Porsche event. The man from Oklahoma savoured his appearance at the Porsche European Open back in 2017 and still looks back at it with pleasure. “It’s always exciting to play in new events, and the Porsche Singapore Classic is no exception,” explains Walker who has notched up a total of 11 tournament wins in his playing career.
“Porsche has been a fantastic supporter of golf, and I’ve experienced that firsthand at the Porsche European Open in Germany. Their commitment to the sport elevates the tournament experience for players and fans alike. I’ve really enjoyed playing on the DP World Tour this season, and I’m looking forward to another great week in Singapore.“
MacIntyre enjoyed the Singapore Classic back in 2023, and is eager to return to Laguna National. “I’m really excited to be playing in the Porsche Singapore Classic again this year. The fans were amazing last time, and Laguna National is a great course to start the season’s Asian Swing,” says the winner of the DP World Tour’s prestigious Genesis Scottish Open and the PGA TOUR’s RBC Canadian Open.
MacIntyre, who has recently established himself in the world’s top 20, added: “I want to keep improving, keep moving up the world rankings, and compete at the biggest events. The Porsche Singapore Classic is a key stop on the global golf calendar, and I’m excited to get back out there and be part of it again."
Big Asian title hopefuls
The list of title hopefuls, some with a slight home advantage in Asia’s metropolis, includes Haotong Li (China), who only a few weeks ago celebrated his fourth DP World Tour win in Qatar, Asian Tour winner Gavin Green (Malaysia) as well as the four-time DP World Tour champion Kiradech Aphibarnrat (Thailand), who last year was pipped to the post by the eventual victor Jesper Svensson in the play-off. Other renowned Asian contestants are Wenyi Ding (China) and Keita Nakajima (Japan). The tournament week will be a special experience for Singapore’s Brayden Lee after the 17-year-old amateur secured his starting berth on home soil during the qualifying tournament. The other qualifiers are Natipong Srithong (Thailand) and Shinichi Mizuno (Japan).
Hole-in-one car: Taycan Turbo S
Both players and Porsche Singapore Classic visitors will once again this year have their eyes on a special hole-in-one prize. An ace on the Classic Course’s 17th will be rewarded with a Taycan Turbo S in Oak Green Metallic. Onsite fans also have the chance via the daily Porsche Taycan Challenge in the Public Village to qualify for the shootout on Sunday and thus the chance to win the hole-in-one vehicle on the 17th.
Attractive courtesy car fleet with Taycan and Cayenne models
The first Porsche vehicles are already to be found at the Laguna National Golf Resort Club. Executive Championship Director Patrick Bowers took delivery of the first of the 20-strong courtesy car fleet for the tournament personally from Andre Brand, General Manager of Porsche Singapore, in the Porsche Studio in the heart of Singapore. “We are excited to support the 2025 Porsche Singapore Classic again with these 20 Taycan and Cayenne sports cars as the official courtesy cars,” says Andre Brand. “We are proud to start our players’ journeys with a luxurious welcome to Singapore.“ The courtesy cars are available for use by the athletes during the tournament week. After the event, interested persons will be given the opportunity to take advantage of a special offer and purchase one of the tournament Porsches.
The 2025 edition of the event marks Porsche’s second year as Title Partner. The premiere of the Porsche Singapore Classic last year immediately more than fulfilled all the big expectations. In doing so, the event has been established in the important Asian market as a new highlight in the international professional golf involvement of Porsche.
The DP World Tour made its debut in Singapore in 1993, with Major Champions Sir Nick Faldo and Ian Woosnam claiming the first editions of the Johnnie Walker Classic in 1993 and 1996. Singapore has also seen victories by fellow Major Champions Vijay Singh and Adam Scott, adding to the country’s rich golfing history.
Laguna National was also home to one of the most iconic moments of Singapore golf, with local hero Mardan Marmat delighting the home crowd by securing a one-stroke victory at the 2006 Singapore Masters.
Updates on the Porsche Singapore Classic can be found on the Porsche Singapore Classic website, as well as its Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn pages.
