The HSBC Women’s World Championship roars back to Lion City’s Sentosa Golf Club. This prestigious event brings together 66 of the world’s top-ranked players, competing over 72 holes at the stunning Tanjong Course at Sentosa Golf Club. As “Asia’s Major,” it’s no surprise that nine of the top 10 players in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings are gearing up to battle it out, including Jeeno Thitikul, Lydia Ko, and Lilia Vu. Thitikul, fresh off a third-place finish at the Honda LPGA Thailand, will return to Sentosa with some strong memories.
With a $2.4 million purse on the line and valuable Race to the CME points, the stakes are high, like a last-second Hail Mary in the Super Bowl, but is the weather in favor of the golfers? Let’s find out, shall we?
So, for Thursday’s first round, you can expect mostly cloudy skies with a couple of thunderstorms rolling in during the afternoon. Temperatures will be around 30°C, with a RealFeel of 35°C. It’ll feel quite warm on the course per Accuweather. The humidity will be high, around 90%, which could make the heat feel even more oppressive. Winds will be blowing at 11 km/h from the north-northeast, Which might offer a breather from the heat (but it’s still no Texas or Florida summer). Thunderstorms could bring some heavy rain and gusty winds, so the players will need to be prepared for changing conditions.
On Friday, the second round will see cloudy skies with a few thunderstorms, especially later in the day. Temperatures will be slightly warmer, reaching 32°C, with a RealFeel of 34°C. The humidity will still be high, around 86%, and the winds will be a bit stronger, blowing at 13 km/h from the north-northeast. A break from the sun is great, unless the thunderstorms show up uninvited.

Players will need to stay focused and adapt to the changing conditions if they want to post a good score. But what about the last two rounds? Well, it doesn’t look to tell the truth.
