Injured Singh out until December

World number three Vijay Singh is set to miss at least two months of action with an arm injury.

The 45-year-old has tendinitis in his left forearm and will miss two events.

He has been ruled out of the Iskandar Johor Open, which starts on 30 October, in Malasia and the Champions Tournament in Shanghai the following week.

"I'm very disappointed but it's important I follow my doctor's instructions and do what is best for my long-term health," said Singh.

The three-time major winner has won three US PGA Tour events this year, taking his career total to 34 - the same number as world number two Phil Mickelson.

Of the players still active on the PGA Tour, only Tiger Woods has more titles to his name

Iskandar Johor Open official Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman said he was naturally disappointed by Singh's withdrawal, but added: "I understand from his manager that his injury is serious and will need two months of rest."
