On September 12th, 2004, Vijay Singh became the world’s number one golfer – a title that he acquired from Tiger Woods, who had held the coveted position for over five years. Unlike Woods, whose meteoric rise to stardom changed the face of golf forever and instantly made him one of the wealthiest and most recognisable people on the planet.
It took Tiger less than 10 months after turning professional to become the world number one. It took Singh, 41, almost 22 years. In his own words: ‘It has been a long journey and one that won’t be forgotten.’ From journeyman pro to multi-millionaire world superstar in just 20 years, this is a story of how natural talent, determination, an unbeatable worth ethic and unshakeable self-belief can propel you to the very top in world sports.
