Fijian beat Tiger Woods in his pomp at Augusta in 2000 but this complex character seems happy to shun the limelight
Anniversaries of the sporting kind may be the only currency to soar in a pandemic. With live action paralysed, it isn’t difficult to envisage starved writers scraping around for first-hand accounts of Pindarrie’s triumph in the 2000 Guineas of 1820.
Using an equine analogy, Vijay Singh was unquestionably a thoroughbred. The Fijian spent 32 weeks as the top-ranked golfer in the world. He defeated Tiger Woods in his pomp and returned three major victories in a professional haul of 64. In 2004, Singh won nine times. He sits fourth in the PGA Tour’s all-time money list, having collected more than $71m.
