Step 2: Analyzing the options.
(A) USA: Vijay Singh is not from the USA.
(B) Fiji: Correct — Vijay Singh is from Fiji.
(C) India: Singh is not from India, though he has competed internationally.
(D) UK: Singh is not from the UK.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (B) Fiji, as Vijay Singh is a professional golfer from Fiji.

Answer 2

Instead of recalling Vijay Singh's nationality directly, we can eliminate the wrong options by thinking about which countries are well known for producing major professional golfers and checking whether Singh fits each one.

1. USA: The USA has produced a huge number of top golfers, but Vijay Singh is not one of the American-born players on the PGA Tour roster - he is known specifically as an "overseas" player on the US tour, not a home-grown one.
2. Fiji: Vijay Singh is widely cited as the most successful golfer to ever come out of Fiji and the Pacific Islands region, having won three major championships (one Masters and two PGA Championships) and having held the World No. 1 ranking - a fact closely tied to his Fijian identity in golf history and media coverage.
3. India: Although Singh has Indian heritage (his family is of Indian-Fijian descent) and has played tournaments in India, his nationality and the country he represents in golf is Fiji, not India.
4. UK: There is no notable connection between Vijay Singh and the UK beyond playing tournaments there, which professional golfers from many countries do.

Eliminating USA, India and UK on these grounds leaves Fiji as the only fit.

Therefore, the correct answer is Fiji.
