The 2005 prize fund was $2 million which made the Singapore Open by far the richest tournament exclusive to the Asian Tour, that is not co-sanctioned by the European Tour, a status it has retained through 2007. Asian Tour chief executive Louis Martin claimed when the revival of the tournament was announced, "Competing for a prize purse of two million US dollars will give our playing membership a huge boost and elevate the Asian Tour to a new level." The 2005 event was played in September.
