Apr 05, 2018 Vijay Singh's former caddie Kip Henley has revealed in a remarkably open interview with Golf.com that 'cheating happens almost every single round' on the PGA Tour. Henley, a failed mini-Tour player. Jammu: On the eve of Republic Day, 2021 Director General of Police, Prisons, J&K V. Singh, awarded the Director General’s Prison Medal to 10 Officers/Officials of the J&K Prisons Department in recognition of their outstanding performance.

In 1998, Singh was victorious at the PGA Championship at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Washington, playing a 70-66-67-68 over the four days (the 66 tied a course record) and earning him his first Major title. He followed this up by winning The Masters in 2000, with a three-stroke victory over Ernie Els. Singh, who partnered with Carlos Franco to win the 2017 Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf at Big Cedar Lodge, is the first FedExCup champion (2008) to win on PGA TOUR Champions.

Veteran golf superstar Vijay Singh has pulled out of a tournament after being labelled a “piece of trash” and “complete turd” by a fellow pro.
The former Masters champ and three-time major winner faced backlash after entering the first tournament back on the second string Korn Ferry Tour in the US.
The tour is traditionally for golfers who have yet to qualify for the PGA Tour, and Singh — and his $AUD109 million in career earnings — did not go unnoticed by his fellow players.
Singh, 57, is eligible to play in any Korn Ferry Tour event he wants — but his decision to enter was blasted by one pro in particular, who delivered a blistering tirade on social media.

In a series of now deleted tweets, Brady Schnell, 35, who competes on the second-tier tour took aim at Singh, calling him “selfish”.
“Hey @VijaySinghGolf you are a true piece of trash if you accept money playing in a Korn Ferry Tour event and I’ll say it right to your face,” Schnell wrote.
“Do you know how much those points and money could do for a young kid?
“He’s a complete turd for playing. He’s got his money and he’s got his career. Just wait another month and roll with your senior friends.”
Schnell has missed five of six cuts on the Korn Ferry Tour this season.
The PGA Tour has now confirmed Singh had pulled out of the Korn Ferry Tour Challenge, which is set for June 11-14 at TPC Sawgrass in Florida.
Schnell has since apologised for slamming Singh — who was backed in his original decision to play by Phil Mickelson.
Yesterday I said some disrespectful things towards @VijaySinghGolf and for that I am truly sorry! A different approach should have been taken in order to get my point across. I will learn from this and be better! I'm looking forward to getting back to work and playing some golf.

The Fijian legend has made $AUD109 million on the PGA Tour — the fourth most of all time.
By comparison, last year’s Korn Ferry No. 1 Xinjun Zhang of China pocketed just under $1.29 million over the season.
Five-time major winner Mickelson — who has had a sometimes testy relationship with Singh — was quick to defend the Fijian when the controversy broke out.
“It’s no secret VJ and I aren’t close, but I’d like to say on his behalf that in addition to being a member of the Hall of Fame, he’s a big part of the PGA Tour’s success which financially subsidises, and always has, the KFT,” Mickelson tweeted.
“He has earned the right to play when and where he wants.”
