Did Vijay Singh just unlock another PGA Tour season, too?

Key Highlights

• 8 on that all-time list (No.
• 6 if you don’t include LIV guys) used his top-50 waiver for 2026 and played the Sony, where he became one of the Tour’s oldest-ever cut-makers and warmed up for this week’s PGA Tour Champions opener a few islands over at Hualalai.

Now Singh could play plenty more this year, if he so chooses; his category makes him effectively eligible for every full-field event.
• But he’s unlikely to do so.
• In an interview with Sports Illustrated’s Max Schreiber he suggested he’ll play no more than a couple in preparation for walking Augusta National."Maybe if I'm fit enough to walk the Masters because that's a hilly golf course, I may play San Antonio a week before that and Phoenix is a pretty flat golf course, so I could play that,” he told SI. Singh said a couple other interesting things in the interview, too.
• “I went in there to play well, to compete,” he said, pushing back on the idea that he was a field-filler.
