Editing Vijay Singh (section)

=== Asia Golf Circuit ===
Singh turned professional in 1982. Two years later, he won the 1984 Malaysian PGA Championship. However, his career was plunged into crisis after he was suspended from the [[Asia Golf Circuit]] in 1985 over allegations he doctored his scorecard. It was alleged that he lowered his score from one over to one under in order to make the cut, but Singh denies this, saying that in any case, it should only have resulted in disqualification from the event rather than a ban. After investigation by the Tour of this and other alleged violations proved true, John Bender, Asian PGA Tour president, issued Singh a lifetime ban on Asian PGA Tour play.

Singh felt he had been more harshly treated because the marker was "the son of a VIP in the Indonesian PGA."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://golf.com/news/vijay-singh-has-always-been-reluctant-to-discuss-his-early-years-as-a-pro-and-for-good-reason/ |title=Vijay Singh Has Always Been Reluctant To Discuss His Early Years As A Pro, And For Good Reason |publisher=Golf |date=11 May 2015 |access-date=25 April 2023 |archive-date=25 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230425100548/https://golf.com/news/vijay-singh-has-always-been-reluctant-to-discuss-his-early-years-as-a-pro-and-for-good-reason/ |url-status=live }}</ref> He then took a job at the Keningau Club in [[Sabah]], Malaysia, before his move to the Miri Golf Club in [[Sarawak]].
