Vijay, From The Caddies Who (Kind Of) Loved Working For Him
/Alex Miceli tries to unwrap the enigma that is Vijay Singh via the loopers who've worked for the man and finds they have mostly great things to say about him. They also believe he would never push the rules when it came to performance-enhancing drugs, even though that's exactly what he did.
This was interesting:
For his part, Singh brushes off any perceived largesse as merely fair compensation for the performance that he demands.
"You've got to pay the guys what you need to pay them," Singh said Jan. 9 after a first-round 70 in the Sony Open at Waialae Country Club. "It's not being generous. It's what they deserve if you work hard enough and they work with you. It comes with the territory."
None of the former caddies believes that Singh would cheat. Nor do they think that he would be interested in a financial settlement.
One of Singh’s advisers says Singh wants only to sit with commissioner Tim Finchem and receive a genuine apology. That's not likely to happen before the New York court rules on the Tour’s motion.
Apologize for what?
**Rex Hoggard says Vijay has won a key fight over accessing WADA info. More interestingly, he says Wednesday is the showdown date in court for Vijay and his attorney.
