A strong international field was confirmed for the 2025 Porsche Singapore Classic, which was touted as the opening event on the DP World Tour’s “Asian Swing” and boasts prize money of US$2.5 million (S$3.3 million).
Stars include the likes of world No 14 Robert MacIntyre from Scotland, who is headlining the event, and former DP World Tour winners Jordan Smith from England and Rafa Cabrera Bello from Spain.
Local teenager Brayden Lee is also set to compete in his biggest tournament to date, after securing one of the three qualifying spots as the top Singaporean amateur.
The monsoon surge, which is expected to last until Friday, has brought about heavy rains across Singapore, with authorities warning of possible flash floods.
Several flash flood risk alerts have been issued by national water agency PUB since Wednesday, with at least one flooding that occurred on Thursday at around 2pm along the intersection of Mountbatten Road and Jalan Seaview.
However, the persistent downpour and stormy conditions have raised concerns beyond just flooding, affecting key operations across the country.
