You have to really admire Vijay Singh and his ability to continue winning at the age of 46. He's got more wins than any player ever after the age of 40. Can you imagine this guy on the Champions Tour in a few years? Scary! Actually, he will likely split time between the two tours like Fred Funk does, only with greater success.
The following is a quote from Vijay on the importance of a working out and regarding his workout routine...
"It's very important, maybe even more important than people realize. I workout everyday and sometimes twice a day, using weights, bands and medicine balls. I think it's important to know what you're working out for. If you just go out and start lifting a ton of weights you can destroy your entire muscle structure. That's why a trainer is very helpful. They can help you develop a program based on your needs and also make sure you're form is correct so you don't hurt yourself. More than anything, golfers should focus on stretching though."
Notice at the end of this paragraph he mentions the importance of stretching? Flexibility is THE key for golfers who want to improve their game and add distance off the tee. You can make yourself as strong as you want, but if you don't have the flexibility to generate a full swing with a big shoulder turn, you simply won't be able to add much distance.
