In 1993, when the Singapore Open was moved to the PGA Tour of Australasia, the Rolex Masters took the dates on the Asia Golf Circuit as an "approved event". In 1995, it became a counting event for the tour's Order of Merit.

Notes
- AGC − Asia Golf Circuit.
- Shortened to 54 holes due to rain.
- In 1988, 1991, 1993 and 1994, the event was sanctioned by the Asia Golf Circuit, however it was an unofficial money event; therefore the win is considered unofficial on that tour.
