The Fijian is using an eligibility rule letting any player in the tour’s top 50 all-time earnings regain full status for a season of their choice.

SUVA: Vijay Singh, who turns 63 in February, has decided to accept an exemption to play on the PGA Tour in 2026 after spending several years on the 50-and-older PGA Tour Champions.

Golf.com confirmed Thursday that the Fijian is using an eligibility rule that allows any player in the tour’s top 50 all-time money list to regain full status for a season of their choice.

A PGA Tour spokesperson told the outlet that Singh “will likely be eligible for the vast majority of full-field events,” though the big-money designated events are not on the table unless Singh plays exceptionally well and qualifies for them.
