Vijay Singh Still Going Strong After Almost Half Century As Most Hated Man in Whole World

With the 2012 PGA Tour season petering out and factually based news stories increasingly thin on the ground, focus has turned to that old chestnut Vijay Singh who is closing in on celebrating 50 years as the most despised man, not only in golf, but in the whole world.

"It’s great to see Vijay back playing well at 49 and being hated as much as ever” senior PGA official Brent Spiner told reporters, explaining that Singh has become incrementally more loathsome over each of the past 15 years. “I honestly didn't thought we would ever find somebody to hate more than Scott Hoch in his prime but boy, was I wrong,"  he added "The way he walks, that squeaky smile, that disdain he seems to carry for his fellow earthlings just do it for me every time; he is truly remarkable.”

Singh has become synonymous over the years as being the hardest practiser on Tour, a fact Spiner agrees with.  “He practices being obnoxious, being up his own arse and belittling people more than any other professional on Tour”, says Spiner.  “He also practises golf quite a bit.  Vijay spends so long taking shots in a bunker some people call him Hitler but I personally think that’s unfair” he added.  “On Hitler”.

Vijay’s sister Ijuswanna Singh also spoke recently about what was like to grow up in Fiji with her cranky brother. 

"It was obvious Vijay was different from the very start”. Ijuswanna said.  “He never played seven’s rugby, our national sport, and preferred instead to club young kitten’s to death on the roadside. I suppose that’s where he got his swing and his reputation as a complete pussy.”

“Our mother remembers him cycling around the upstairs on a tricycle humming the overture from The Omen when I was brought home from the hospital after being born and several strange incidents including one with our Nanny and one of his school friends who got caught under some ice.  And oh yeah I forgot about the guy who got his head lopped off by the pane of glass after laughing at Vijay’s glasses. That was a weird one.”

It’s thought that the PGA will honour Singh next year by inducting him into the Hall Of Hatred.  There he will join names such as Hoch, Faldo and Montgomerie and receive the The Black Raven trophy from host and Beelzebub lookalike David Feherty.

More as it emerges.
