Summary

On this edition of the NLU Special Projects series, we relive Vijay Singh's dominant 2004 season which might be the most underappreciated in modern golf history. We also look back at Singh's unlikely ascension from the island of Fiji, through various tours in far flung locations around the globe to ultimately challenge, and briefly overtake, Tiger Woods as the best golfer on the planet.
