The Singapore Open will offer a direct pathway to golf’s oldest Major when it returns to the Serapong Course [main picture] at Sentosa Golf Club from 23-26 April this year, with two places having been made available for the 154th Open Championship – The R&A confirmed today.

The tournament will form part of the Open Qualifying Series (OQS), with the top two players, not otherwise exempt, earning places at The Open – adding major championship significance to one of Asia’s most treasured national opens.

This year’s Open Championship will take place at Royal Birkdale from 16-19 July.

The announcement comes as the Singapore Open makes a highly anticipated return to one of its most iconic venues. The Serapong Course has been a defining feature of the event’s modern era, hosting 14 editions won by many of the game’s greatest players, including Australian Adam Scott, a record three-time winner, Spain’s Sergio Garcia, England’s Ian Poulter, and Matt Kuchar from the United States.

The 2026 Singapore Open will be part of The International Series and is expected to attract a strong global field, with players competing for both the national title and a coveted place at the Open Championship. Japan’s Yosuke Asaji triumphed last year when the event made its return after a three-year hiatus.

The other Asian Tour events part of the OQS this year are the 105th New Zealand Open presented by Millbrook Resort and the Kolon Korea Open. Last year’s Link Hong Kong Open is also part of the series for this year’s Open.
