Vijay Singh to Miss First Masters Tournament in 31 years
Tiger Woods is not the only Masters staple missing out this week.
ontapsportsnet.comI can share what’s known about Vijay Singh and the Masters up to now.
Core answer
- As of the latest reporting, Vijay Singh did not win the Masters this year; he has historically been a Masters champion (2000) and has had several notable appearances, but in recent years he has faced injuries that affected his participation.[9]
Context and recent developments
- Singh has had a long streak of Masters appearances, but injury issues led to withdrawals from the Masters in 2025, marking a notable interruption of his participation at Augusta National.[1][3][9]
- There have been later reports about Singh attempting a return to professional golf on the PGA Tour Champions and, in 2026, making headlines with a competitive showing at events like the Sony Open in Hawaii, illustrating the difficult but ongoing jaunt of a veteran player back into regular competition.[2][6]
What this means for “Masters win” status
- He is a Masters champion (2000) but there is no evidence of another Masters title following that win; his more recent Masters participation has been constrained by injury, not endurance or form at Augusta.[1][9]
