The '''Rolex Masters''' was a golf tournament held in Singapore from 1973 to 1998. It was played on the Singapore Island Country Club's Bukit course. For the first three years it was played as a 54-hole invitation event, before extending to 72-holes in 1976. The event served as the final tournament of the Singapore Golf Circuit and was usually held the week prior to the [Singapore Open](/source/Singapore_Open_(golf)).
In 1993, when the Singapore Open was moved to the [PGA Tour of Australasia](/source/PGA_Tour_of_Australasia), the Rolex Masters took the dates on the [Asia Golf Circuit](/source/Asia_Golf_Circuit) as an "approved event". In 1995, it became a counting event for the tour's Order of Merit.
