I personally like what Vijay is doing out here, playing 30 or 31 events. We have 43 title sponsors, but Tiger thinks we have 18. Right now, Vijay is doing more for the PGA Tour than anybody ... I think Tiger needs to show his talents at different events. There are a lot of tournaments he's never played. There's no reason he can't play them.

But the intent is still there and the drive is there, and we see that at home. People may not see it as much out here. They don't think he works as hard as Vijay, but he's every bit as driven as Vijay is. He just brings it here. He doesn't try to find it here, he brings it with him.

There was a time when the guys who hit it long were considered dumb-asses, because they just bombed it and didn't care where it was going. I can hear Lee Trevino saying, 'If that guy had half a brain ' Now, that's the game. Vijay bombs it. Tiger bombs it. It doesn't go in the fairway, but that doesn't matter. Tiger was dead last in fairways at San Diego, and he won.
The top players are playing better. Mike Weir , Jim Furyk , Ernie Els , Vijay Singh, myself... Phil Mickelson and David Duval were the exceptions, but overall, most of the guys you'd expect to challenge Tiger stepped up and challenged him. Were there classic duels with Tiger down the stretch this year No, not really. Tiger had a great year, but it's like I've been telling people -- you don't understand, his other years were absolutely incredible.
There's no doubt, when Tiger's playing his best, there's only a Big One. There's him and there's four other guys. When (Tiger) is kind of just OK, that's when you bring Vijay into the mix. He's clearly the world's No. 2.
Each company continues to engineer and design new products for the golfer. The No. 2 golfer in the world, Vijay Singh, will go to the president of a golf company about the latest technology to help better his golf game.

Despite an injury to his wrist that forced him to miss the four Tour events preceding the Masters, Duval shot a very fit 71-66-70 and then, playing two groups ahead of Sunday's leaders, unreeled seven birdies in the first 10 holes to grab a share of the lead with Woods. Duval, who was in the hunt on Sunday before losing to Vijay Singh at Augusta last year and to O'Meara three years ago, kept track of Woods as best he could. Roars would rattle through the pines, one neighboring rill to another, and frankly, It seemed like a lack of them, ... I was thinking, I'm in it.
I had good practice sessions, ... We always hit a lot of balls, then we go play. Nobody hits more balls than (Woods) at home, I'll tell you that. Vijay (Singh) included.

Tiger's a top player, but the overall competition has just been great. We've had all of our top players win this year (Woods, Phil Mickelson, Vijay Singh). We want the networks to be profitable, and we want to assist them in their sales efforts. I think we'll be fine.
Vijay Singh had a chance to post 5-under with Woods, Perry and eventual runner-up Chris DiMarco still on the course, but he failed to convert a five-foot birdie putt at the final hole and finished tied for third at 4-under. I hit a good putt. I think it broke more than I thought, ... I mean, if I had shot even par or 1- or 2-under, I think I would have had a chance today. That's the way it goes. This golf tournament has not been friendly to me, so maybe next time.
