What the PPA Asia 125 series is
The series runs alongside the main PPA Tour Asia calendar as a route for players who are not yet on it. Each event carries up to 125 ranking points and a minimum of US$10,000 in prize money, runs in single-day formats, and excludes players ranked inside the top 20 of the PPA Rankings. Every champion earns direct entry into the next PPA Asia 500 event.
For the five winners in Singapore, that meant a place at the Leapmotor Singapore Open in July.

Charles Yong of Singapore beat Timothy Foo of Malaysia 15-13 in the Men's Singles final. Yong trailed 9-5 and then 13-10 before taking five points in a row. He was 19, and had first played the sport three years earlier.
