ABOUT VIJAY
Vijay Singh was born in Lautoka, Fiji, on February 22, 1963. He learned the game of golf from his father, an avid golfer. His legendary work ethic was formed at a young age and Vijay could be found on the range at the Nadi airport golf course most days after school and on the weekends.
He turned professional in 1982 and joined the PGA Tour in 1993. He has won 59 tournaments in his career, including 34 on the PGA Tour. He won the 1998 and 2004 PGA Championships and the 2000 Masters. In 2004, Vijay became the #1 golfer in the world, a position he would hold for a total of 32 weeks.
