Singh Withdraws From AmEx Championship

Vijay Singh withdrew from the American Express Championship to be played in Ireland this weekend after Hurricane Jeanne, the 4th hurricane to pound the state of Florida in the past two months, caused damage to his home in Ponte Vedra Beach. Singh felt it was time to spend some time with his family. He is still scheduled to play three more tournaments this year including next week’s Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland, a European tour event. Other notables who have already withdrawn from the American Express Championship include Mike Weir, John Daly, Phil Mickelson, Kenny Perry, and Nick Price. The tournament will still include 44 of the world’s top-50 players.
