BIOGRAPHY
       
Vijay Singh is a professional golfer who was number one in the Official World Golf Rankings for 32 weeks in 2004 and 2005. An Indo-Fijian of Hindu ancestry, he was born in Lautoka, Fiji and grew up in Nadi. His name means Victorious Lion. He has won three major championships (The Masters in 2000 and the PGA Championship in 1998 and 2004) and was the leading PGA Tour money winner in 2003 and 2004. Singh was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2006.

Singh, a resident of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, is the son of Mohan Singh, an airplane technician who also taught golf. Growing up, he admired the swing of Tom Weiskopf, using it as an early model for his own. Singh is known for his meticulous preparation, often staying at the range hours before and after his tournament rounds working on his game.

Singh is married to Ardena Seth, who is Malaysian. They have a son, Qass Seth, born on 16 June 1990.
