The Singapore Island Country Club is hosting the tournament for the first time in 38 years. Back in 1987, the venue last welcomed professional golfers to its fairways. Now, the Moutai Singapore Open 2025 returns with a massive $2 million purse. That’s a 60% jump from the 2022 edition’s $1.25 million. The tournament runs from November 6-9 at SICC’s New Course, combining the Millennium and Pierce nines. This marks the penultimate stop on The International Series. The event carries significant implications for players vying for LIV Golf League spots. The International Series confirmed that the year-long Rankings Winner and Runner-Up earn promotion to the breakaway circuit. That makes every stroke count for the 144-player field battling it out in Singapore. The winner takes home $360,000, representing 18% of the total purse. Second place earns $220,000, while third grabs $126,000. Players finishing fourth and fifth pocket $100,000 and $82,000, respectively. The complete breakdown ensures everyone who cuts gets paid. ADVERTISEMENT Speaking of cuts, only the top 65 players and ties advance after 36 holes. All golfers completing four rounds earn prize money down to 65th position at $5,400. The payout structure mirrors that of other International Series events on the Asian Tour calendar. Complete Prize Money Breakdown: ADVERTISEMENT The field features serious firepower from both tours. LIV Golf stars Thomas Pieters, Talor Gooch, and Paul Casey headline the entries. Anthony Kim continues his professional comeback journey here. Meanwhile, John Catlin, the 2024 Asian Tour Order of Merit winner, brings six Asian Tour victories to Singapore. Asian Tour Order of Merit leader Kazuki Higa was expected to contend. However, he missed the cut alongside International Series Rankings leader Scott Vincent. Beyond the cash, the winner collects 11 Official World Golf Ranking points. They also secure a two-plus season exemption on the Asian Tour. Plus, crucial Order of Merit points help determine who earns that coveted LIV Golf contract at season’s end.
