The 15-time European Tour winner and Ryder Cup veteran played a key role in guiding Crushers GC to a second-place finish in the 2025 team standings, with three team wins this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also racked up four top-10 individual finishes and led the League in Strokes Gained: Approach \u2013 a testament to his precision iron play. He came agonisingly close to his first individual LIV title at LIV Golf Dallas, finishing runner-up in a four-man play-off to Patrick Reed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Casey has competed in several Singapore Opens, including a notable runner-up finish to Jazz in 2019, this will be his first time competing at SICC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is always a privilege to return to a tournament with such a rich history. Singapore is a place I love returning to; the fans are fantastic, and their energy at events is truly special. I have come close to winning before and hope I can do so this year. I\u2019m excited to be part of this incredible field and play at The Singapore Island Country Club for the first time,\u201d said Casey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Casey is a two-time winner on the Asian Tour, winning the Classic in China and the China Open in 2005. He has played in Singapore\u2019s National Open on three occasions: 2012, 2019 and 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uihlein has tasted success before on the International Series \u2013 winning twice last season in England and Qatar.  Gooch brings some excellent form into the tournament, finishing fourth in the individual LIV Golf standings thanks to a win at LIV Golf Andalucia, a third-place finish in Korea and a fourth at LIV Golf UK. Wild card Kim will be no stranger to Singapore\u2019s golf fans as a former member of the US Ryder Cup team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans can also look forward to the return of the \u2018Beat the Pro\u2019 challenge this year \u2013 a popular fan experience that will be played on one of the signature par-3 holes at SICC. Brayden Lee and Troy Storm, who will represent Singapore at the World Amateur Team Championship this year on home soil, both featured in it before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Singapore Open golf championships next month will feature an outstanding field headlined by LIV Golf League stars<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3445,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[44,7],"tags":[58],"class_list":["post-3444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","category-newsbeat","tag-golf"],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250131_IW_Paul_Casey_003297-990000079e04513c.jpg",900,588,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250131_IW_Paul_Casey_003297-990000079e04513c-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250131_IW_Paul_Casey_003297-990000079e04513c-300x196.jpg",300,196,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250131_IW_Paul_Casey_003297-990000079e04513c-768x502.jpg",640,418,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250131_IW_Paul_Casey_003297-990000079e04513c.jpg",640,418,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250131_IW_Paul_Casey_003297-990000079e04513c.jpg",900,588,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250131_IW_Paul_Casey_003297-990000079e04513c.jpg",900,588,false],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250131_IW_Paul_Casey_003297-990000079e04513c-825x575.jpg",825,575,true],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250131_IW_Paul_Casey_003297-990000079e04513c-590x410.jpg",590,410,true]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/category\/international\/\" rel=\"category tag\">International<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/category\/newsbeat\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Newsbeat<\/a>","tag_info":"Newsbeat","comment_count":"0","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250131_IW_Paul_Casey_003297-990000079e04513c.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3444"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3444\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3446,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3444\/revisions\/3446"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
