Golf-Hungry Singh has no thoughts of slowing down

THOUSAND OAKS, California, Dec 21 (Reuters) - Three-times major champion Vijay Singh had no intention of slowing down his pursuit of more titles after winning the Chevron World Challenge at Sherwood Country Club on Sunday.

The 45-year-old Fijian has piled up 34 victories on the PGA Tour, three of them in 2008, and plans to compete at the highest level for another five years.

"I think there's no limit to what age you should quit," the workaholic Singh told reporters after triumphing by one shot in the elite 16-man event hosted by Tiger Woods.

"I'm a great example. Look at (Americans) Kenny Perry and Fred Funk, who won TPC (Players Championship) when he was 48.

"Winning this many tournaments doesn't mean it's a miracle; I think there will be guys out there that are going to do the same thing. It's just how many they're going to win. Right now I'm the leader and I'm not quitting yet.

"I don't know if I can keep doing this for another four, five or six years but I'm going to try. I'm going to try until I'm 50," added the former world number one.

"Nowadays with equipment, with the ball going so far and with us working out very hard, we know how to work out now.

"I told everybody, when I show up and I know I can't win the golf tournament, I'm going to quit. But as long as I show up and know that I can win, I'm going to keep playing."
