Given that a lot of touring pros have nick names like The Big Easy, Lefty, Goose, Lumpy, Boss of the Moss...

What would you think is a good nick name for Vijay Singh?

One of the Golf Magazine's held a contest earlier this year (there's a thread somewhere on TGN about it)

I suggested (and Mok agreed) that a good/simple nickname for Vijay would be "Fijay!"

Personally, I think he looks like that tall lanky character in the horror movie 'Candyman'.

With all the money he's won, Vijay "Bling Bling" Singh.

Given his position in woman playing in PGA events and missed the last two cuts after putting like a gal, maybe we can call him 'Michel Vee'....
