The Singapore Open, one of the Asian Tour’s most iconic tournaments, will enter another exciting new phase next year with Deutsche Bank – Germany’s leading bank with a global network – as the title sponsor, and with the DP World Tour returning as the joint-sanctioning partner.

The DP World Tour announced the news yesterday, explaining they have inked a multi-year agreement that runs until 2029 with Deutsche Bank.
The tournament will be played on The Serapong at Sentosa Golf Club from 15-18 April.
It marks the first time Deutsche Bank has sponsored Singapore’s national open, but it has previously partnered with the DP World Tour as the Title Partner of the Deutsche Bank Players’ Championship of Europe from 1995 to 2007.

The Singapore Open is a prime tournament for them to be associated with. First played in 1961 it is steeped in history and boasts a striking line-up of past champions that includes Australian Adam Scott, who has triumphed a record three times, as well as Spain’s Sergio Garcia, Englishman Ian Poulter and Matteo Manassero from Italy.
Some of the Asian Tour’s finest have also been victorious, including Indian Jeev Milkha Singh plus Thailand’s Thaworn Wiratchant and Jazz Janewattananond, and Myanmar’s Kyi Hla Han – all former Asian Tour Order of Merit champions.
While traditionally part of the Asian Tour schedule, the event was previously co-sanctioned with the DP World Tour between 2009 and 2012.
Jeongwoo Ham won the title in April, impressively winning wire-to-wire – to become only the second Korean to raise the trophy. It marked the first time since 2022 that the tournament had been played at Sentosa Golf Club, with whom the Asian Tour have enjoyed a long-term relationship since 2005.
The Asian Tour is in the process of finalising its schedule for 2027, but the Deutsche Bank Singapore Open will be in the DP World Tour’s Asian Swing, the third of five Global Swings which form the first phase of the 2027 Race to Dubai.
