Wiesberger Ends Five-Year Title Drought with DP World Tour Victory in Singapore
Austria's Bernd Wiesberger has broken one of professional golf's longest recent droughts, winning the Singapore Open to claim his first DP World Tour title since 2021. The 35-year-old Vienna native finished four strokes ahead of closest challenger at the renowned Sentosa Golf Club, carding a final round of 67 to seal a commanding victory. Wiesberger's triumph ends a 1,826-day wait since his last DP World Tour victory, providing a cathartic conclusion to what he described as a challenging period in his career. "This means everything to me," Wiesberger said following his victory ceremony. "The last five years tested my patience and belief more than I could have imagined. To stand here as a winner again feels like a dream." The Austrian began the final round with a two-stroke advantage and never relinquished control, mixing six birdies with two bogeys to finish at 18-under-par total. His victory moves him back into the world's top 50 and guarantees his playing privileges for the remainder of the 2026 season. Former world number 14, Wiesberger's career has been marked by resilience, having overcome wrist injuries earlier in his career. His Singapore triumph adds to an impressive resume that includes seven previous DP World Tour victories, with his most recent coming at the 2021 Dutch Open. The win also serves as a timely boost ahead of next month's Masters, where Wiesberger will be seeking to improve on his career-best Augusta performance of 12th place achieved in 2019.
