in the thread Vijay Singh , media and Money list. It may be worth reading.gvhvhg wrote:So how indian is he?
Now that piece of info I did not know. I assumed he was showing up for marketing and publicity reasons for his sponsors and not because of huge appearance money. I take my earlier statement back then. It's a shame that players like Tiger who have some sort of tie to a country take big appearance fees to appear in world class events. I can see if it is a small time event Asian PGA event but not the Johnnie Walker Classic which is a $1.8 million dollar event. I guess I owe an apology to Vijay then.BSharma wrote:However, I disagree with you that Tiger's going to play in Thailand (his mother's birth place) is more "patriotic" or whatever else you implied than Vijay Singh not spending time in India. Tiger gets paid over a million dollars (often over $2 million) to show up in Thailand, Middle-east or elsewhere) and he did not go to Thailand to play there for free. I did read about it when he went to Tahiland. I am sure that Vijay will catch the first flight to India if someone pays him over a million dollars for a one day gig. Did you see on TV what Tiger got when he went to Dubai recently to play in a tournament and skipped the US PGA?
Anonymous1, the issue I have with your statement is that the Indian press writes about a Davis Cup of USA or some other country but ignores the forthcoming Davis Cup match between India and Japan, as happened recently in the Indian press. Do most Indians living in India care more about some European Davis Cup team than their own Davis Cup team? Occasionally the Indian press writes about a "foreign" golfer winning a PGA or EPGA or APGA event but ignores the Indian golfers like Arjun Atwal, Jyoti Randhawa, Daniel Chopra and other golfers.Indian press that targets largely the India based folks would have limited interest in Vijay while press that targets expatriate Indians (including ethnic Indians) would presumably have more interest.
). How would Dhurv know if he is visiting anonymously? Who knows our anonymous1 could be even Vijay!!!!Dhruv, I do not think Vijay Singh visits this forum (or does he? - you would know)
It would be nice to know if he has heard about our website ?
HOw old are your kids? May be better late than never? I was talking to PKB other day about this, how Golf pays a lot of money and is probably not so expensive as people may believe . All you have to do , is buy a world class golf set (maybe it will come for 10 years) and pay Range fees and course fees (which may be a little expensive) and practice daily. You don't even need a hitting partner!!!!It is too late to get my children to start playing golf for a living ).
. On the other hand from now onwards I will assume that anonymous1 is Vijay Singh unless he tells me his true identity. Well just to clear that up anonymous1 can be anybody as it is a general username and password for all forums (announcement up top) but more often than not (>80%) is a person who works for a law firm. And as far as I know no Vijay Singh on there boards yet.BSharma wrote:anonymous1 is Vijay Singh unless he tells me his true identity.
