The Singapore Ladies Masters will return for its third edition at Laguna National Golf Resort Club from June 12–14, headlined by new title sponsor Kweichow Moutai and featuring an increased prize purse of US$120,000.
Sanctioned by the China Ladies Professional Golf (CLPG) Tour, the 54-hole stroke play tournament marks a 20 per cent increase in prize money from previous editions.
A field of 108 players will compete on Laguna National’s Classic Course, featuring a host of rising stars and established names, including Chinese teenage sensation Ren Yijia, widely regarded as one of the brightest prospects in women’s amateur golf. The 16-year-old inked her place in the record book with her latest win at the Orient Ningbo Challenge last month, making her the first amateur to win four times on the CLPG Tour.
Fresh off her standout performance as the top individual player at the World Amateur Team Championship (WATC) in Singapore last October, newly turned professional Xu Ying of China is also set to build on her impressive amateur record in the play-for-pay ranks, where she won the Fila Beijing Women’s Classic in only her second start as a professional.
Ren and Xu are expected to further test themselves against the best players in the world when they head to the LPGA Qualifying School at the end of the year.
Other notable names at Moutai Singapore Ladies Masters include Sui Xiang, a two-time winner on the CLPG Tour, Shi Yuli, the 2025 CLPG Tour Order of Merit winner, and Pang Runzhi, who returns as defending champion following her dramatic one-shot victory over compatriot Cai Danlin in last year’s edition.
Adding further lustre to the tournament is 13-year-old Australian prodigy Fuyu Yang, who impressed by making the cut at the 2024 China Women’s Open while competing on a wildcard from LLD Sports. She will once again receive a wildcard invitation to compete in Singapore. Yang also claimed victory at the Webex Players Series Murray Junior on the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia.
In line with the tournament’s commitment to local development, eight spots have been reserved for Singapore amateurs, with four nominations and four earned via qualifying events promoted and organised by the Singapore Junior Development Tour (SJDT).
Tournament organiser and LLD Sports founder Lyn Yeo said: “Our goal in bringing a China LPGA tournament to Singapore is to provide a platform where local players can compete, gain valuable experience, and measure themselves against the best in the region.
“Winning a professional title at home is an unforgettable milestone, and we hope it serves as a springboard to success on larger stages.”
Shi Yunding, Director of Singapore Huashang Liquor- The Largest Authorised Distributor of Kweichow Moutai in Singapore, added: “Moutai is delighted to serve as the Title Sponsor of the Singapore Ladies Masters 2026. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to excellence, heritage, and the pursuit of refined lifestyles.
“We believe sport is a powerful bridge between cultures, and we are proud to support an event that showcases both elite competition and the elegance of women’s golf.”
Since its inception, the Singapore Ladies Masters has established itself as a springboard for emerging talent. In 2023, Singapore’s first Olympian Shannon Tan captured the inaugural title as a 19-year-old amateur before turning professional the following year and capping an unforgettable 2025 season, where she won twice on the Ladies European Tour (LET) to lift the prestigious Order of Merit title.
Beyond the on-course spectacle, the tournament continues its mission to grow women’s golf by offering promising amateurs from across the Asia-Pacific region a prestigious platform to compete alongside professionals and gain valuable exposure.
Each year, as CLPGA Tour players qualify for the LPGA, the Moutai Singapore Ladies Masters also provides a rare glimpse into the future of women’s golf, spotlighting the next generation of rising stars.
