Singh may be kept in the cold

VIJAY SINGH, never a man for verbal flights of fancy, imposed a one-man news blackout last week.

The 40-year-old Fijian had ample reason to trumpet his views after controversially losing out to Tiger Woods for the PGA Tour’s player of the year prize and plenty spoke up on his behalf. But from the man himself, there was not a whisper.

The award brings nothing except prestige but since it is decided by the tour players, the trophy is one of the most cherished in the game.
