What Vijay Singh could do even better than Phil Mickelson when on Tour, ‘people don’t know this’

Vijay Singh’s legendary career in golf included not just three major titles—most notably his 2000 Masters win, the only major that year Tiger Woods did not claim—but also a historic achievement as the first player to dethrone Woods from the world No. 1 ranking in 2004, ending a 264-week reign.

While Phil Mickelson remains the most successful left-handed golfer ever, Singh’s ability to outplay him with his off-hand has been underrated, according to Peter Jacobsen, who witnessed Singh hitting an eight-iron left-handed with greater precision than either Mickelson or Mike Weir, two elite left-handed competitors. Singh’s versatility and dominance during the turn-of-the-millennium era, where he matched Woods’ major success despite fewer titles, underscores his status as one of the game’s all-time greats, even if his left-handed prowess remains a lesser-known facet of his career.
