Early Life and Background

Born in Lautoka, Fiji, Vijay Singh is of Indo-Fijian descent and practices Hinduism. His father, Mohan Singh, an aircraft technician, introduced him to golf and served as his first mentor. During his youth, due to financial constraints, Singh practiced using coconuts in place of golf balls. While specific records of his early amateur career are limited, it is generally accepted that he developed a solid foundation in the sport prior to turning professional.

Rise Through the Professional Ranks

Singh turned professional in 1982 and captured his first major professional victory by winning the Malaysian PGA Championship in 1984. However, that same year, he was involved in a controversial incident related to scorecard discrepancies, which led to a lifetime ban from the Asian Tour. Despite this early setback, Singh remained focused and continued developing his game.

In 1988, with support from his sponsor Red Baron, Singh competed in and won the Nigerian Open. This victory helped him secure entry into Qualifying School, which paved the way for his participation in the European Tour. Singh had a breakout year in 1989, winning the Volvo Open Championship. That year, he also claimed titles at the Volvo Open di Firenze, Zimbabwe Open, Nigerian Open, and Ivory Coast Open—highlighting his dominance in both Asia and Africa during this period.
