Singh returns home vying to win Fiji International

Vijay Singh in action at last year's Fiji International Golf tournament.

Vijay Singh has returned home to Fiji determined to claim a first European Tour win in eight years.

The Beautiful Natadola Bay Golf Club plays host to a European Tour event for the first time as the Fiji International takes its place on the International Schedule co‑sanctioned by the PGA Tour of Australasia.

As Fiji's biggest global sports star, Singh is an enthusiastic supporter of Fiji’s biggest sporting event and has a fine record, finishing in the top ten in both 2014 and 2015.

The 53-year-old is a 13‑time winner on the European Tour with his last victory coming at the 2008 Bridgestone Invitational, although his last regular win came seven years before that at the Caltex Singapore Masters.

He has proved this season he can still mix it at the top level with two top tens on the US PGA Tour.

If Vijay Singh wins this week, he would become the oldest winner in European Tour history by over three years, beating the record of Miguel Angel Jiménez.

The Fiji International tees off at Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course tomorrow with the champion to be decided on Sunday.
