Vijay has his own video game now...

LOL. Ubisoft signed Vijay for a self-titled Vijay Singh golf video game that is supposed to "compete" with the EA Sports Tiger Woods franchise. Vijay is not marketable at all. The Tiger franchise is not only the best golf game ever, but one of the best sports games ever (possibly THE best). What is Ubisoft thinking?

Fatal Error...Vijay may be 1/2... in the world but Ernie Els, Phil Mickelson or Sergio Garcia would have been a much better choices

Most of that game is not on the course... you control Vijay on the driving range, and it has a feature that allows you to place your golf glove under your left arm.

With the driver in the game, will Vijay set up 20 yards left of the target to hit a huge cut like he does in real life?

Give me a break, i cant stand the guy.

Golf to him isnt fun, I know plenty of people that swear he is in it for the money not the sport.

Hmmm, lets see he plays almost every tournament.


I completely agree with Trance's comments. When Vijay is in the lead I will turn it.

As much as I am not a fan...

There was a pretty interesting piece on Vijay on HBO's Real Sports last week. He claimed that he is honest, but sometimes it hurts him, like his comments about Annika playing in a men's event. He also said that his honesty is real, and wondered if the smiling, happy go lucky Phil is the real Phil. I did find his workout room pretty impressive, as well as some of the exercises he does to strengthen his core.

But I doubt there will be many teenage boys putting "Vijay's Driving Range 2006" game on their Christmas lists !

No doubt it he probably a great guy, sometimes he just rubs off like a jerk sometimes.

He was a poor teaching pro in Borneao (spelling?)

There's no reason to blame him for money being a huge factor in why he plays so much. He wants to give his family as much as possible...

Cole, anyone who is against basic women's rights like Vijay is cannot be considered a nice guy...unless you are his son who is probably spoiled rotten just like every rich kid.

Yeah, i'm not directing that at you, but at the people who see that as a bad thing. I belive that money isn't everything, but when you come up that poor, its a very common thing to have money as a bigger factor in your life.

Name one professional golfer in the world today that hasn't been in it for the money. Golf for "sport" is played at the amateur level.
