Vijay Singh, 62, Validates PGA Tour Return With T-40 at Sony Open

He now turns to the PGA Tour Champions opener on the Big Island.

Overview

  • Singh closed with a 1-under 69 to finish 5-under 275 at Waialae, carding four rounds of par or better for a T-40 result.
  • He became just the fourth player aged 62 or older in the last 20 years to break 70 three times in a PGA Tour week, joining Tom Watson and Bernhard Langer.
  • Despite ranking 71st of 75 in driving distance at 282.9 yards, he placed 12th in Strokes Gained: Around the Green, underscoring a sharp short game.
  • His season access comes via a one-time career money exemption, and his Sony Open showing eased criticism about using the provision.
  • Phil Mickelson praised Singh’s talent and work ethic on X, and Singh is slated to play next at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship on the PGA Tour Champions.
