Yosuke Asaji wins Singapore Open, Tabuena drops to 3rd in rankings

Japanese golfer Yosuke Asaji won the Singapore Open in a sudden-death playoff against Korea's Jeunghun Wang.

Asaji's victory propelled him to the top of the International Series Rankings, displacing Scott Vincent.

Filipino golfer Miguel Tabuena dropped to third place in the rankings after finishing tied for 18th in the Singapore Open.

Tabuena's result meant he earned fewer points, impacting his chances of securing a full-time spot in the 2026 LIV Golf League.

With Asaji's surge, Tabuena is now hard-pressed to post a strong performance in the final event on the IS calendar, the Saudi International, to make the two-man cut.

LIV Golf has expanded the slots to the first and second-ranked golfers at the end of the IS season, offering berths to the top two players in the International Series Rankings after the Saudi International.
