Los Angeles: Vijay Singh, the world No 1 golfer who hails from Fiji, said he will auction an automobile to benefit Asian tsunami relief, and the US PGA Tour said they would match the proceeds as the US sports world’s aid efforts continued. Singh said yesterday he would use the online auction site Ebay to sell a vehicle which was part of his prize for winning last year’s Buick Open. He said he would donate the proceeds to UNICEF’s tsunami relief effort, and the PGA Tour, whose season got underway this week with the Mercedes Championships in Hawaii announced they would match the donation. “My wife thought it was a great idea to do that, and I didn’t really need a car at this moment,” said Singh, whose wife, Ardena, is Malaysian.
