Scheffler is PGA Tour player of the year
Scottie Scheffler celebrates with his wife, Meredith, and son, Bennett, after winning the Hero World Challenge 2024 at Albany Golf Course on Sunday in Nassau, the Bahamas. GETTY IMAGES VIA AFP Scottie Scheffler added another trophy to his awesome display Tuesday when he won the Jack Nicklaus Award as PGA Tour player of the year in a landslide, joining Tiger Woods as the only players to win the award three straight times. While no one could match that year, there was the question of how players would view Xander Schauffele's rare feat of winning two majors in one year, at the PGA Championship and the British Open. "Scottie took on challenges from the best players in the world on the biggest stages all season, and being honored as PGA Tour player of the year is the ultimate sign of respect from his peers," commissioner Jay Monahan said. He shattered the PGA Tour earnings record, somewhat inevitable given the spike in prize money this year with 11 tournaments with prize funds of $20 million or more, not including the four majors.
