Love Quote by Lee Westwood

"The Singapore Open is the flagship event of the Asian Tour, it is a massive event and it is being played in a great place. I love coming here and it is good to be back"

About this Quote

Westwood is doing what veteran stars do best: turning a tournament soundbite into a quiet act of brand maintenance. On the surface, it reads like standard player-speak, but the phrasing is calibrated. Calling the Singapore Open the Asian Tour's "flagship" isn’t just praise; it’s a signal of legitimacy. In a golf world dominated by the PGA Tour’s gravitational pull and still sorting out its post-LIV alliances, “flagship” is a way of elevating the Asian Tour from regional circuit to meaningful stage. Westwood’s name gives that elevation heft.

“Massive event” and “great place” are booster words, yes, but they also do diplomatic work. Singapore is positioned as both sporting venue and global city - safe, sleek, cosmopolitan - and Westwood nods to that without getting trapped in specifics. The line “I love coming here” shifts from institution to intimacy: it’s the emotional alibi that makes the promotional language feel personal rather than transactional.

“It is good to be back” lands as the real tell. Comebacks in golf aren’t only about form; they’re about relevance. Westwood, a long-established figure with a career spanning eras of tour politics and sponsorship ecosystems, uses return language to reaffirm belonging. Not just to a course, but to a circuit, a market, a storyline. The intent is reassurance: this event matters, this location matters, and he still matters within it.
