Singapore. BMW Asia today announced the top three winners from the BMW Golf Cup National Final 2025, held at Tanah Merah Country Club’s Tampines Course from 12 to 15 August 2025. Tan Lee Hong, Lee Kim Leng and Wang Mei Zhen, will represent Singapore at the BMW Golf Cup World Final at the Fancourt Golf Resort in South Africa in March 2026.
“The BMW Golf Cup National Final in Singapore is the pinnacle event of our annual golf season, and 2025 was bigger than ever,” said Lars Nielsen, Managing Director, BMW Group Asia. “Due to overwhelming popularity last year, we extended this year’s event from three days to four, giving media, corporate partners and customers more time on the green.
“Of the 40,000 registered golfers in Singapore, 5% of this population has already participated in BMW golfing events organised this year by BMW Asia or our dealer partners, Performance Motors Limited and Eurokars Auto,” added Nielsen. “Golf is one of the top three interests of our customers, making this event a perfect fit for their passions and a great way for us to connect with them while having some fun. We are committed to fostering this community in Singapore in the coming years for existing and new players.”
