After winning five tourneys this year, the PGA has given Tiger Woods the Player of the Year award. This is the 11th time that the current world's number one golfer has won the award which is determined by the votes of other fellow PGA golfers. Two other golfers who have been discussed as contenders for the award were Adam Scott and Phil Mickelson, both having won a major title this year.
Although many golfing fans might point out another major-less campaign, it's a great end for a successful year for Tiger. As mentioned, he was able to take the top seed of the world ranking. He also pocketed the most money from tournaments this year. Here is what this year's Player of the Year had to say as he received the award:
It's just been a fantastic year all around. It's also an incredible feeling to be voted by your peers, and to have the that type of respect is very humbling.
I've had to work my way back from injuries on numerous occasions throughout the years. These last couple years is no exception to that. There were a lot of people saying I could never win again, and two years later I've got eight wins on our TOUR. I'm very proud of where I've come from, from being ranked outside the top 50 to being ranked where I am now, and to have had the success that I've had this year makes it all the more rewarding.
