Former champion Vijay Singh has withdrawn from the Masters with an injury, ending a streak of 31 straight starts at the season’s first major.
Singh, 62, the 2000 Masters champion and three-time major winner, will not be replaced, dropping the field to 95. The nature of Singh’s injury was not disclosed by officials at Augusta National Golf Club on Monday.
Singh defeated Ernie Els by three shots to claim the green jacket in 2000. Tiger Woods won the other three majors that year.
In 31 career starts at Augusta National, Singh has six top-10s, 11 top-25s and 21 made cuts.
Singh also won the PGA Championship in 1998 and 2004.
The first round of the Masters tees off Thursday morning.
