The Singapore Ladies Masters is set to return for its third tournament, with an increased prize pool of $120,000 (approximately 3.7 million baht), to be held at Laguna National Golf Resort Club in Singapore from June 12-14. Led by Kan Bunnabodee, the tournament is part of the China LPGA Golf Tour (CLPGA), which launched in 2023 and has become a breakthrough platform for new golfers. The event has attracted new sponsorship from Guizhou Moutai, increasing the prize money by 20%. The tournament will feature 108 golfers competing in a 54-hole stroke play format, including rising stars like Herin Yijie, a 16-year-old Chinese amateur who has already made history by winning multiple CLPGA tour events. Other notable participants include Sue Ing, a newly turned professional who recently won the World Amateur Team Championship, and top tour players like Sui Xiang, Shi Yuli, and Pang Runzhi. The tournament also provides a wildcard entry to 13-year-old Australian prodigy Fu Yu Yang and offers spots to 8 Singaporean golfers to promote local talent development.
