The DP World Tour today announces that Deutsche Bank, Germany’s leading bank with a global network, will become the new Title Partner of the Singapore Open in a multi-year agreement that runs until 2029.
The Deutsche Bank Singapore Open will be played on The Serapong at the Sentosa Golf Club from 15-18 April, 2027. It will be part of the DP World Tour’s Asian Swing, the third of five Global Swings which form the first phase of the 2027 Race to Dubai.
The Singapore Open is one of the region’s most prestigious national Opens. First played in 1961, the list of past winners includes four major champions. While traditionally part of the Asian Tour schedule, the event was previously co-sanctioned with the DP World Tour between 2009 and 2012 and will return to both Tours' schedules as a co-sanctioned tournament from 2027. Defending champion Jeongwoo Ham of South Korea captured his maiden Asian Tour title at last year's tournament, a victory that also secured him a place in The Open Championship in 2026.
This is not the first time that Deutsche Bank has partnered with golf’s global Tour. The company was the Title Partner of the Deutsche Bank Players' Championship of Europe from 1995 to 2007.
Speaking about the new partnership Claudio de Sanctis, Deutsche Bank Management Board Member and Head of Private Bank, said: “Deutsche Bank is proud to be working with the DP World Tour to bring leading international talent in professional golf to Asia in the new Singapore Open. Partnering for this sporting event aligns strategically with Deutsche Bank’s commitment to fostering global talent, competitive skill and leadership. We are delighted to support this significant sporting event for golf fans around the Asia region, reflecting our deep commitment to Singapore and to sport as a means of creating connection and inspiring experiences for clients and the community.”
Guy Kinnings, CEO of the DP World Tour, added: “This partnership is significant not only because it is with one of the world’s leading financial institutions, but because it reflects the commercial appeal of the DP World Tour and the opportunities we can provide global brands through our platform.
“The return of the Singapore Open to our schedule is also an important milestone in our new tri-partite partnership with the Asian Tour and the PGA Tour. Deutsche Bank’s investment will provide the foundation to grow this historic national Open, enhance the experience on and off the course, and maximise the economic impact of the event for many years to come.”
Cho Minn Thant, Commissioner and CEO of the Asian Tour, added: “We were thrilled to welcome the event back onto the schedule in 2025 after a two-year hiatus, delighted to see it return to Sentosa this year, and we eagerly anticipate it being elevated to a joint-sanctioned event next season with the DP World Tour. Partnering with Deutsche Bank will also give even greater prominence to what is one of the high points of the golfing year in Asia. We also want to acknowledge and thank the Singapore Golf Association for their on-going support of the National Championship.”
