English golfer Richard Mansell secures his first DP World Tour title at the 2025 Porsche Singapore Classic, finishing 16-under par in Singapore.

English golfer Richard Mansell clinched his first DP World Tour title at the 2025 Porsche Singapore Classic, marking a breakthrough victory on his 103rd attempt. Finishing 16-under par, Mansell sealed the win with a decisive birdie on the 18th hole of the Classic Course, edging out Japan’s Keita Nakajima by a single stroke.

The tournament, held at the prestigious Laguna National Golf Resort Club, was shortened to three rounds due to heavy rain on Thursday. Despite the challenging weather, the final day delivered thrilling golf. Mansell produced back-to-back rounds of 66 over the weekend, showcasing his composure and skill under pressure.

Northern Ireland’s Tom McKibbin and France’s Adrien Saddier shared third place. An emotional Mansell, reflecting on his long journey, thanked his family and said that winning a DP World Tour title had been his dream since childhood. His victory earned him nearly €400,000 from the tournament’s $2.5 million prize fund.

One of the tournament’s highlights was the hole-in-one prize — a Porsche Taycan Turbo S in exclusive Oak Green Metallic. However, no player managed to ace the famous 17th hole. The car’s value can exceed €200,000, with bespoke configurations and optional features significantly increasing the price.

Porsche also showcased its lineup at the event, including the new all-electric Macan. A fleet of Taycan and Cayenne models provided courtesy transportation for players and guests. Members of the international Porsche Golf Circle community enjoyed a premium VIP program featuring a rooftop party at Marina Bay Sands and exclusive access to Porsche Villas overlooking the 18th green.

The tournament further strengthened Porsche's presence in professional golf across Asia. After becoming the title sponsor in 2024, Porsche continues to expand its commitment to the sport in the region, signaling clear ambitions for the Asian market.
