History-Making Moment for Singapore as Shannon Tan Claims Ladies European Tour Order of Merit Title
In a thrilling culmination of skill, determination, and heart, Shannon Tan has etched her name in the annals of sporting greatness as the first Singaporean to win the coveted Ladies European Tour (LET) Order of Merit title. This remarkable achievement came on November 30, 2025, when the talented 21-year-old golfer showcased resilience in a season-long battle with her British rival, Mimi Rhodes.
A Season to Remember
Tan’s journey this season has been nothing short of inspiring. As the final tournament, the Andalucia Costa del Sol Open, approached, she held a solid lead of 219.26 points in the Order of Merit standings over Rhodes. With the pressure mounting and the spotlight glaring, Tan took to the course with a mix of nerves and excitement, finishing the tournament with a score of one-over 73, which brought her total for the tournament to an impressive seven-under 281. She ended up tied for 16th position, proving once again that she has what it takes to compete at the highest level.
Despite her best efforts, Rhodes needed a top-three finish to steal the title away from Tan. Unfortunately for the British golfer, she finished tied for seventh with a score of ten-under 278, leaving Tan with an unassailable lead in the standings. The tournament itself was won by France’s Nastasia Nadaud, who dazzled the competition with a phenomenal score of 16-under 272, finishing four shots ahead of Australia’s Kirsten Rudgeley.
Previous Victories Fueling Ambition
Before clinching the Order of Merit title, Tan displayed her prowess throughout the 2025 season by securing victories in two other prestigious tournaments: the Amundi German Masters in June and the Hero Women’s Indian Open in October. These triumphs not only showcased her extraordinary skill but also set the stage for her monumental win at the LET.
As the golf calendar shifts, both Tan and Rhodes are set to take on the challenge of the LPGA qualifying school, starting December 4, 2025. This next chapter could lead to even greater accolades and opportunities for both ambitious golfers.
Inspiration for Future Generations
Tan’s unprecedented achievement is more than just a personal win; it’s a beacon of hope and aspiration for young golfers in Singapore.

With Tan’s historic victories and her notable performances in the previous year, including being the first Singaporean golfer to compete in the Olympics, the future of golf in Singapore looks bright.
