Rolex Masters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the golf tournament held in Singapore. For other uses, see Rolex (disambiguation).

The Rolex Masters was a golf tournament held in Singapore from 1973 to 1998. It was played on the Singapore Island Country Club's Bukit course. For the first three years it was played as a 54-hole invitation event, before extending to 72-holes in 1976. The event served as the final tournament of the Singapore Golf Circuit and was usually held the week prior to the Singapore Open.

In 1993, when the Singapore Open was moved to the Australasian Tour, the Rolex Masters took the dates on the Asia Golf Circuit as an "approved event". In 1995, it became a counting event for the tour's Order of Merit.
