"They obviously don't understand the game real well as it wasn't as if I was missing cuts," Woods said.
The world number one has only ever missed one cut in 120 events since turning professional and his worst finish of the year prior to Bay Hill was 13th.
Woods is now in a fine run of form, and although he conceded he was happy with the win in Florida he rang out a menacing warning to his potential rivals for the prestigious green jacket at Augusta.
"This is special and it's extremely rewarding to have won, but it's not a major," said Woods, whose focus has always been the Masters.
"I'm pretty happy, but I'll continue to work on the most important thing for the Masters, controlling my trajectory."
Singh drew level with Woods before finding water at the 14th.
His resultant double bogey effectively cost him any chance of challenging for the $777,000, despite a strong finish which included an eagle and a birdie.
 Singh must focus on his Masters defence

"One bad shot is all it takes but under the gun you know that you cannot make mistakes - that's the bottom line," Singh said, after a closing 68. The Fijian is yet to score an over par round this season and has had 10 top-four finishes as a result.
Like Woods he is ready to go back to the practice range ahead of defending his Masters title, and is keen to put the horror of the 14th behind him.
"I'm not going to think about this after I leave and tomorrow I'll be back preparing for the Masters," Singh said.
"I just hope I've learned something from here and that I don't face a similar shot at Augusta, but the Masters is totally different."
The only thing that will not be different is the formidable presence of Woods who will be looking to take Singh's green jacket and his third win in a row.
