Tan made his official debut at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he placed close to last (thirty-eighth) in the Laser class with a net grade of 275, finishing closer behind Malta's Mario Aquilina by a three-point deficit.^[4]^[5]

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Tan qualified for his second Singaporean team, as a 29-year-old, in the Laser class by placing again, close to last, at seventy-seventh and obtaining a berth from the World Championships in Bodrum, Turkey.
