First of three successive events in Asia
With the four-week 'Desert Swing' now complete, the action switches to Asia where the DP World Tour will host three back-to-back events.
This week it's the turn of Singapore, before the circus moves on to Thailand and finally India.
The Singapore Classic will take place at Laguna National, which most recently staged a 'European Tour' event in 2014 (see list below).
Since the turn of the millennium, Laguna National has hosted seven 'European' tournaments, including six Singapore Masters between 2002 and 2007.
Opened in 1993, this flat, tree-lined, parkland venue has water in play on 10 holes.
Located close to the island's east coast, Laguna's Classic Course underwent a redesign in 2010.
Seven years later it underwent further 'surgery' which yielded the building of two new holes, while a number of others were comprehensively renovated and re-routed.

Six To Watch
Adri Arnaus: The Spaniard has made a solid start to 2023, and finished tied-sixth in Ras Al Khaimah at the weekend. Is a one-time champion and five-time runner-up on the DP World Tour.
Alexander Bjork: Runner-up at Al Hamra, which was his highest finish on Tour for over 14 months.
Ryan Fox: The highest-ranked pro, by quite some margin, teeing-up this week. The upwardly mobile New Zealander finished in a tie-for-11th at Al Hamra on Sunday.
Robert MacIntyre: Tees-up after taking a week's rest. He is currently in contention for a Ryder Cup spot this September.
Matthieu Pavon: The 30-year-old Frenchman is one of the better pros yet to win on the DP World Tour - six times a podium finisher.
Johannes Veerman: The American was tied-eighth in Dubai two weeks ago and will be chasing a second Tour title this week. His first came in August 2021 in the Czech Republic.
