The luxury lifestyle brand's commitment in creating amazing experiences focuses on Omotenashi (unique Japanese hospitality), which guests will experience in this world-class tournament.

David Nordstrom, Vice President at Lexus Asia shares, "We are honoured for the opportunity to work alongside like-minded partners like HSBC, Rolex and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) in supporting the resumption of prestigious events of this scale. Our new 'Lexus Electrified' vision – which underpins the next chapter of an electrified future – empowers Lexus to be the automotive partner best-placed for driving this tournament forward in a transformative age marked by evolving social environment, mobility needs, and customer lifestyle demands."

"For Lexus, this sponsorship goes beyond bringing sporting events back in a post-pandemic world. The spirit of the tournament's long-awaited return demonstrates the very reason why we have been longstanding supporters of the game of golf; its resilience and sportsmanship reflect Lexus' core values and speak to our customers' lifestyle that values dedication to craft and skill," Nordstrom adds.
