History

The Singapore Ladies Open was part of the Ladies Asian Golf Circuit between 1987 and 1996.[2] In 2020, a Singapore Ladies Open sponsored by Hana Financial Group was slated to return but was postponed due to the pandemic, and the inaugural LPGA of Korea Tour co-sanctioned event was held in 2022. With a prize purse of S$1.1 million, it was the second most lucrative women's golf tournament in the country after the S$2.4 million HSBC Women's World Championship.[3]
