\"vijay_singh_pump.jpg\"If there was any doubt earlier in the season about who should win the PGA Tour Player of the Year, it has been erased. Vijay Singh<\/a> won his ninth title on tour this year at the Chrysler Championship<\/a> pocketing $900,000 for the effort and becoming the first player ever to eclipse the $10 million earnings mark for a single season.<\/p>\n

Singh’s win this week was a convincing one. After shooting a 4-under-par 67 on Saturday to take the lead (and to win the Crestor Charity Challenge for the fifth time this year), Singh birdied the first two holes on Sunday and never looked back. He poured in five more birdies and only had one bogey en route to a 65 that put him five strokes ahead of Jesper Parnevik and Tommy Armour III, his widest margin of victory since winning by six at the 2002 Houston Open.<\/p>\n

Next week at the Tour Championship<\/a>, Vijay Singh will go for his 10th win. His current nine wins ties him with Tiger Woods<\/a> for the most victories in a single season since Sam Snead won 11 times in 1950. It took Singh 173 tournaments over eight years to earn $10 million for his career. He has surpassed that with one incredible season, his victory at Innisbrook pushing his total to $10,725,166. That’s more than $5 million more than Phil Mickelson<\/a>, who is second on the money list and more than Tom Watson’s career earnings.<\/p>\n

“It’s hard to swallow it right now,” said Singh “It’s incredible. I leave tomorrow to go to Atlanta so there’s no time to celebrate. I’ll get my time.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
