Golfer Vijay Singh wants to be a major player in 2008 starting with his defence of The Mercedes-Benz Championship in early January.

Singh re-modelled his swing last season and believes all the hard work will enable him to challenge for honours next year.

The three-time major winner said everything seems to be coming together and hopefully it gets going next year.

2004 was a stellar year for Singh who ended Tiger Woods 264 week reign at the top of the world rankings and accumulated nine victories to also lift the PGA Player of the Year award.
