Vijay Singh has gone down in golfing history for his feats over the years, which includes three major championship wins.

Singh withdrew from The Masters at Augusta National earlier this month, having won the iconic tournament back in 2000.

Fijian ace Singh also won the PGA Championship in 1998 and 2004, having clinched a total of 34 wins on the PGA Tour.

Tiger Woods said Singh was ‘so hard to beat’ on the course, with the duo having enjoyed a great rivalry for many years.

Now 62, the former world number one is currently plying his trade on the PGA Tour Champions, where he boasts five wins.

Vijay Singh favours Pebble Beach over Augusta National

And the Fijian’s favourite course has now emerged, with Singh sharing all on the What’s Your 1 More podcast.

“Pebble is one of my best,” he said of his favourite course. “It’s tough, the location of it. But the views on a fine day, you cannot beat Pebble.

“Go up the hill on six, seven, eight, nine, 10 and it’s like wow, you are in a different world. That is probably one of my favourite ones.

“And then obviously The Masters. There’s nothing like Augusta. You can go and play there when there is not a tournament but if you arrive there during the tournament it’s a different course.

“Even the pine cones are placed perfectly, nothing is out of place! You say hey did they actually put the pine cone there or did it fall there? Everything is so pristine. It’s just perfect.”

Vijay Singh has one wish for Pebble Beach before the end of his career

Just like Augusta National, Pebble Beach is one of the most iconic courses in world golf, having played host to many special moments over the years.

Singh, of course, won The Masters at the former, while his PGA Championship wins arrived at Sahalee Country Club and Whistling Straits.

Pebble Beach meanwhile has been a regular host of the US Open, with the likes of iconic figures Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Tom Kite among its winners there.

It also recently hosted Rory McIlroy’s win at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, with Singh eager to take it on one more time.

Asked for the one course he would play again if he had a chance, he replied: “I would like to go back and play my own golf course in Fiji. The way I grew up on it.

“I went back there quite a few times but it’s a trash course right now, nobody takes care of it. I would like to go back and play the course that I actually grew up on. That is one.

“And obviously my last game of golf I would like to play at Pebble I think. That is one golf course that is above everyone else.”
