THE STORY
What to know
A global route to the top
Before establishing himself on the PGA TOUR, Singh competed and won across several continents. His path did not follow the usual American collegiate route.
The practice-ground identity
The Hall describes a full, fluid swing and exceptional dedication to practice. Repeated technical work, rather than an effortless mythology, defines his approach.
The 2004 peak
Nine TOUR wins included the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits. He also reached world No. 1, remaining there for 32 weeks across 2004–05.
Winning beyond a single peak
The 2000 Masters sits between his two PGA titles. The 2008 FedExCup adds another significant achievement after his dominant 2004 season.
