Former world golf number one Vijay Singh has signed on for a fifth straight appearance at the Fiji International later this year.
The 55-year-old has made the cut in all four previous appearances at Natadola Bay, with a best finish of third in 2015.

He will join friend and fellow major winner Ernie Els in the field in August, the man he beat by three shots to claim the Masters title in 2000.
"I'm looking forward to meeting up with Ernie in Fiji, he and I have travelled the world together as professionals, so it will be nice to show him my home country," he said.
"We've had some good memories together on the golf course; we've played a lot of Presidents Cups together including the International's win in 1998.
"He's a close friend of mine but come round one at the Fiji International, I certainly won't be holding anything back and I don't expect him to either, it's hard to scale back that competitive streak we both have."

Singh returned to the winner's circle in March, recording a one-shot victory in the Toshiba Classic on the PGA's Champions Tour.
"It definitely feels good to get a win so early in the season. I'm definitely not done yet and will challenge this year in the Fiji International," he said.
Singh has been a vocal supporter of the Fiji International since its inception in 2014 and had a hand in the initial design of the Natadola Bay Championship Course as well as its re-design in 2017.
