He is perhaps one of the most aptly named players on the Tour—his first name is Hindi for victory—and Vijay Singh’s career to date has been nothing short of remarkable. Turning pro in 1982, he won the Malaysian Open in 1984 and joined the European PGA Tour in 1988. Named Rookie of the Year when he joined the US Tour in 1993, Singh’s real breakthrough came in 1998, when he took his first Major. After being inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2006, he remains the man to beat, both on and off the course.

His commitment to practice and preparation is legendary. Singh brings the same approach to excellence to the Water course. His design philosophy centres on the idea of least disturbance—utilising and enhancing the features of the natural surroundings in courses that are developed as opposed to constructed. It is a concept that pays homage to the great old courses, almost all of which were built without moving huge quantities of earth. The result is a more natural course that wonderfully interprets its own unique landscape: Water by Vijay Singh.

“My courses are designed by Vijay Singh, not for Vijay Singh. The Water course will be a challenging test of golf, but it won’t be unfair. This course will stand the test of time and be a worthy addition to the best courses in the world.”
—Vijay Singh
