Scottie Scheffler has been voted PGA Tour Player of the Year for a third consecutive season as he comfortably saw off Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele.
World No 1 Scheffler, who won 91 per cent of the vote, is the first player to win the award in three successive years since Tiger Woods in 2005 to 2007. Scheffler registered seven PGA Tour titles on his way to FedExCup victory and also won Olympic gold in Paris, although his win at The Masters was his only major success compared to Schauffele's two.
'Scottie took on challenges from the best players in the world on the biggest stages all season, and being honoured as PGA Tour Player of the Year is the ultimate sign of respect from his peers.' Scheffler has sat top of the world rankings throughout 2024, with the world No 1 winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational for a second time in three years before becoming the first player in history to successfully defend his title at The Players.
