Is Vijay Singh Married? His Personal Life, Career & More Revealed

He wasn’t the loudest name in golf, but Vijay Singh has made a name in golf with hard-earned success. Singh has beaten Ernie Els twice in major championships, which is no small feat. His first major win came at the 1998 PGA Championship. He shot where he scored 271 (−9) and defeated Steve Stricker. Then came the big one in 2000, the Masters Tournament at Augusta, the dream stage for any golfer. The field was stacked with heavy hitters like Ernie Els and David Duval, both ready to take that Green Jacket. Singh won by 3 strokes, and it was definitely a victory to celebrate. And he did not just stop there; this was just a start.

In 2004, Vijay Singh wasn’t chasing headlines; he was the headline. It was his year for sure, where he put the whole Tour on notice. He won nine times that year, including the PGA Championship, beating big names like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson again and again. At 41, most players are slowing down, but Vijay was just getting started, showing the kind of grit and determination that’s rare in any sport. And to top it off, he climbed to World No. 1 in the OWGR that same year. But all great things start with nothing at first. 

Where did Vijay Singh’s career begin, and what does it look like now

Vijay Singh’s golf journey started pretty early; he grew up in Fiji and picked up the game as a kid, but his professional career didn’t take off overnight. He never really relied on any coach; at the early stages, his father taught him the basics, and even in his prime time, he was his only coach. He first started with the Asian and Australasian tours before making his way to the PGA Tour. It wasn’t until 1993 that he really broke through on the PGA Tour and proved to everyone that he belonged among the big names in the golf world. When it comes to major wins, Vijay’s got three: the 2000 Masters tournament and the PGA Championship in 1998 and 2004. After crushing it in the mid-2000s, Vijay hit some rough patches. 

Starting around 2010, age caught up with him, and he dealt with a few nagging knee and wrist injuries. At the same time, a new wave of young golfers made their way to the Tour, who were way faster and maybe more hungry for wins. The competition got way tougher, and Vijay had to fight just to keep pace. Then, in 2013, he started playing on the Champions Tour, which gave him a fresh start. Singh didn’t waste any time! In 2017, he won the Charles Schwab Cup Championship. Now, he plays selectively, picking his spots wisely.

His journey was clearly not without difficulties. Behind him was the pillar of family support.

Vijay Singh’s family was always there for him

Vijay met his wife, Ardena Seth, in the mid-1980s. At the time, Vijay was a teaching pro in Kuala Lumpur, and Ardena was one of his students. Their bond grew stronger as they faced the challenges of early professional life together. Living in remote areas with limited resources, Ardena stood by Vijay, providing emotional support during the toughest times. The couple has one son, Qass Singh, with whom he tees off at the PNC Championship. Their hard work paid off in 2022, when they won.

Now, Ardena’s involvement wasn’t limited to moral support, she helped him with one of his biggest wins.

One time, when Vijay was showing Qass how to putt, Ardena noticed something. When Vijay used a crosshanded grip, his stroke looked smoother. She pointed it out. Vijay listened. A couple of months later? He won the PGA Championship at Sahalee in 1998.

As for what’s next, Vijay’s focus is on enjoying the game and making the most of every opportunity he gets to play. Vijay Singh made a statement at the 2025 Senior PGA Championship at Congressional in Maryland. After a rough start on Friday, with three bogeys, he bounced back big time with a 4-under 68 and was tied for the lead at 6 under.
