Top 60 players to tee off at 2025 RSGC Women's Amateur Open
KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 60 top amateur golfers are expected to compete at the 48th edition of the RSGC Women's Amateur Open Championship 2025, which will be held at the Royal Selangor Golf Club (RSGC), from August 5 to 7. The tournament is set to attract a strong international field, featuring rising talents from across Asia and Asean including Japan, India, Guam, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and host country Malaysia. Tournament chairperson Ai-Leen Tan said the championship has earned a reputation as a launching pad for future golf stars, having produced standout names such as Mirabel Ting, the 2023 champion, and Winnie Ng, a two-time winner. "Each year, the tournament showcases players of increasingly higher calibre. "Many have since turned professional, and we're proud to provide a platform that helps them take that next step," she said at a press conference to announce the event. While the full list of Malaysian contenders has yet to be confirmed, Ai-Leen noted that players will be selected through the Malaysian Golf Association (MGA). To ensure a highly competitive field, this year's edition will require participants to have a WHS Handicap Index of 13.4 or lower. "By tightening the handicap requirement, we aim to raise the overall quality of the competition. Top players want to compete with the best, and this change reflects that ambition," she added. The tournament will feature four categories, including the Tuanku Bahiyah Cup (gross individual champion) and the Datin Azian Trophy (gross team champion). Open to female amateur golfers aged 12 and above, entries must be submitted by July 26.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 24 (Bernama) — The Royal Selangor Golf Club (RSGC) is expecting around 60 participants for the 48th edition of the RSGC Ladies' Amateur Open Championship boosted by the introduction of a new incentive where for the first time, the best player from ASEAN will earn a slot in the Maybank Championship ASEAN Qualifying Round 2025.

'We are very excited that over the last 10 years, our tournament has become more competitive attracting more serious golfers who would like to make golf their career. bootstrap slideshow 'We have had many, many ladies who have turned pro in the past few years. And we are very proud that we are able to nurture or give a platform to these ladies to move on to the international stage,' she told reporters, here today. When asked if there would be any prominent Malaysian players participating, Ai-Leen said they are still waiting for confirmation from the Malaysian Golf Association (MGA) and expressed hope that Malaysia's top golf prospect, Mirabel Ting would be able to join the tournament. She added that the championship could serve as a valuable platform and practice round ahead of the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand. 'It would have been lovely if she (Mirabel) had come. In fact, she actually promised us earlier that she wanted to come and play in our tournament but then again, what happened was she got a wildcard to play at the Evian in Paris and she's thinking of turning pro by then,' she said. The championship will be played on the Club's Championship Course, comprising the Ist Nine of the Old Course and the 2nd Nine of the New Course. The tournament is open to female amateur golfers aged 12 and above (as of 3 August 2025) with a USGA Handicap Index of 13.4 and below.
