The first round of the Porsche Singapore Classic was postponed from its original date of March 20, 2025, due to heavy rain at the Laguna National Golf Resort Club. The DP World Tour organizers announced that the first round will now take place on Friday, March 21, 2025, maintaining the same tee-off times as originally scheduled.
