A little bit of history
Singapore has been one of the regions hosting an the official TPC circuit since June 2020, and it was part of the Oceania region of the official TPCI circuit before that. It has hosted multiple major events, including TPCI-era Regional Championships, Special Events, and both TPCI- and TPC-era National Championships. Singapore’s greatest VGC success has been the accomplishments of Melvin Keh, which include Top 16 finishes at two World Championships (2018 and 2019), and two National Championships victories (2022 and 2023).
The most recent tournament held in Singapore was the 2024 Singapore National Championships, hosted in Queenstown and played with the VGC Regulation Set F in May 2024. The finals saw Singaporean Ervin Tan defeat 2-time National Champion Melvin Keh to win his first-ever National title!
