A significant milestone in his career came in 1998 when he won the PGA Championship at Sahalee Country Club, his first Major title.

Major Achievements and Rankings

Singh continued to dominate, winning the Masters Tournament in 2000 with a three-stroke lead over Ernie Els. In 2001, he recorded a tour-best 14 top-10 finishes and went on to win the Shell Houston Open in 2002, setting a new 72-hole scoring record at 266. That year, he also triumphed at the Tour Championship.

In 2004, Singh won the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am and recorded nine PGA Tour victories, reclaiming the world number one ranking that year. However, in 2005, he lost that top spot to Tiger Woods after Woods won the Ford Championship at Doral. By 2009, Singh was sidelined due to a back injury but remained one of the highest earners in the sport, with career earnings exceeding $60 million. His net worth is estimated at $75 million.
