Singh is the first Indian pro to become a member of the European Tour in 1997 and is the highest ranking Indian golfer in the world, breaking into the top 100 in October 2006. Excelling in the world of sports comes naturally as his father was an Olympic Sprinter. Jeev had an excellent 2008 season on tour claiming victories in the Bank Austria Golf Open, Sega Sammy Cup, and Barclays Singapore Open where he edged out Ernie Els and Padraig Harrington for the title and finally the Golf JT Series Nippon Cup in Japan. Jeev topped the Asian Tour Order of Merit - the first million dollar man on the Asian Tour, won the Asian Tour Players' Player of the Year Award and jumped to a career high of 36th in the Official World Golf Rankings.
