Singh gladly paying for Eagles
When Vijay Singh addresses a golf shot that could ultimately produce an eagle on the PGA TOUR, he says his mind doesn't wander, and "if it happens, it happens." That's how he tries to maintain separation between his megastar image as an extremely competitive, driven player and his role as ambassador for the Eagles for St. Jude charity initiative that benefits the Memphis-based St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. For every eagle he makes on TOUR this year, "The Big Fijian" in those TV promotions, is contributing $5,000 to the charity. A year ago, the first of the initiative, he pledged $1,000 but was disappointed when he only made 12 eagles and upped his donation to a total of $50,000.

Singh is a class act, and the guy can flat out play. He may not get the same press coverage of some other players like Mickelson and Garcia, but he's almost always in contention and is one of Tiger's only legitimate challengers. For a guy who's in his late 40's, he manages to squeeze every last bit of talent out of his body through sheer hard work and practice. I'm a big fan.

I disagree. He is a legitimate contender for Tiger but he is only about average when it comes to class.
