Graeme McDowell and Phil Mickelson are two of the top golfers who will be a part of the biggest golfing tournaments, the six million dollar Barclays Singapore Open.

The North Irish and American stars are not the only two big names in the six million dollar Barclays Singapore Open. They’ll be playing against the likes of other Major winners like South Korea’s Y.E. Yang and the Irish man, Padraig Harrington. Colombian golfer Camilo Villegas and also Anthony Kim are two golfers who are making their debut appearances in Singapore.

This Singapore National Open is quite an old tournament now and the winner of the tournament is guaranteed to take home more than one million dollars. Almost two hundred players will be facing one another on the two courses, namely the Tanjong and the Serapong of this Singapore Open.

Of the main contenders, Phil Mickelson has failed to finish higher than nineth in this six million dollar tournament while McDowell, the champion of the US open has managed to tie third. Y.E Yang shot up to new heights after he became the first person from an Asian country to win the PGA Championship. The Irish man, Padraig Harrington has three Majors titles and is hence a serious contender. The latest online golf odds place Phil Mickelson as favourite, just ahead of Graeme McDowell.

In the 2010 Open, Adam Scott won with a three stroke victory, to complete a hat-trick of wins in Singapore. Phil Mickelson who is number ten will definitely be aiming at leaving his mark in this multi million dollar tournament.
