Vijay Singh is not playing in the Masters this year due to an injury, marking the first time since his 1994 debut that he has missed Augusta. Multiple outlets reported his withdrawal ahead of the 2025 Masters, with details describing an undisclosed or back injury as the reason. He had previously been a regular at Augusta, including his green jacket win in 2000.[1][2][5][7]
Key points:
- 2025 Masters field: Singh withdraws, ending a 31-year Masters streak at Augusta.[1]
- Injury type: reports cite back injury or undisclosed injury as the cause, with Augusta National confirming withdrawal.[2][5]
- Current status: as of mid-2025, he has not played the Masters; later results show him competing in other events on the PGA Tour Champions, not at Augusta.[6]
If you’d like, I can pull the latest official Masters field notes or provide a quick timeline of Singh’s Masters participation history.
