Vijay Singh is a Fijian professional golfer. In 1982, Singh turned professional and played on the local Asia Golf Circuit.

In 1993, he won the PGA Tour's Buick Classic, earning him tour membership and ultimately Rookie of the Years honors. In 1998, he won his first major championship, the PGA Championship, and two years later the Masters. In 2004, Singh had one of the best seasons in the history of golf, winning nine times including the PGA Championship, usurping Tiger Woods as the #1 golfer in the world.
