SENTOSA GOLF CLUB А НОТ SPOT FOR 'MAJORS' IN 2026

It is slated to stage a record three global events on its world-renowned courses

It is very rare that a club gets the green light to stage two major golf events in a year.

But three? It is unheard of. Enter Sentosa Golf Club, to break all records.

For 2026, Sentosa has been given the go-ahead to host the high-profile LIV Golf event, the HSBC Women's World Championship, and just this week, the Singapore Open, between February and April.

Some believe that the “Majors” have been thrust upon the club because of its organising committee’s sheer efficiency, high professional ism and detailed planning in staging these events.

LIV Golf will be held at the Serapong course from March 13 to 15 and will feature top stars such as defending champion Joaquin Niemann, Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, Cameron Smith and Dustin Johnson.

This will be the fourth time, since the inaugural edition in 2023 which American Talor Gooch won, that Serapong will stage this prestigious event on a 54-hole format.

The US$3 million (S$3.86 million) HSBC Women’s event brings together the world’s top-ranked women golfers from Feb 26 to March 1 at the Tanjong course.

And defending champion Lydia Ko, the youngest inductee into the World Golf Hall of Fame at just 27, pledged recently that she would be back to defend her title.

The Singapore Open, the oldest golf tournament in the Republic that was inaugurated in 1961, will parade the best golfers in Asia and beyond as a tie-up between Sentosa and the Asian Tour.
