World number one Vijay Singh topped the list of 33 golfers nominated for entry into the World Golf Hall of Fame on Friday.
Last year, the Fijian produced one of the finest seasons in golf history, claiming nine events, over $10 million in prize money and the top ranking from Tiger Woods.
He has carried over his form into the current campaign, winning the Sony Open in Honolulu last weekend to take his career tour wins tally to 25, including the 2000 U.S. Masters and U.S. PGA Championship in 1998 and 2004.
Also included on the ballot are Americans Davis Love III, the 1997 PGA champion, Fred Couples, Lee Janzen and Mark O'Meara.
International players on the ballot include, European Ryder Cup hero Colin Montgomerie, who won Order of Merit on the European Tour for seven consecutive years from 1993-1999.
In seven Ryder Cup appearances the Scot has compiled a record of 19-8-5 and is unbeaten in singles play.
Ian Woosnam, Sandy Lyle and Japan's Ayako Okamoto also appear on the ballot.
To gain entry into the Hall of Fame, a golfer must get at least 65 percent of the vote.
This year's class will be inducted on November 14.
