Recent activity and context

• Singh competed in the Sony Open in Hawaii recently, finishing T40, which marked one of his returns to competitive rounds after a period of limited playing time.[1]

Additional context from current coverage

• Several outlets have tracked Singh’s activity and news through late 2024 into 2025, including reports on withdrawals from certain events and his open commentary about continuing competition in senior events. For example, coverage surrounding his participation decisions and senior-major focus has appeared across golf outlets and sports sites.[2][3]

If you’d like, I can pull the most up-to-date snippets from specific outlets (e.g., Fox Sports, PGA Tour Champions page, ESPN) or summarize his competitive calendar for the remainder of 2026. Would you prefer a quick timeline or a side-by-side at-a-glance comparison with his senior events vs. select PGA Tour appearances?
