PGA Tour Player of Year 2024: Scottie Scheffler beats Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele to win award | Golf News

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.

It completes a remarkable season for Scheffler, who also became a father for the first time shortly after winning The Masters for a second time in three years, was arrested ahead of his second round at the PGA Championship in May and won Olympic gold in Paris.

Schauffele and Scheffler both enjoyed consistent seasons, posting 15 and 16 top-10 finishes respectively during 2024 and not missing a cut, while McIlroy won twice on the PGA Tour last season.

The Player of the Year award was determined by a member vote, with PGA Tour members who played in at least 15 events during the 2024 season eligible to vote.

“On behalf of the PGA Tour, congratulations to Scottie Scheffler on a truly historic season, capped off with his first FedExCup title and today a third consecutive Jack Nicklaus Award as PGA Tour Player of the Year,” said PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan.

“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.

A second win at The Masters was followed by another Signature Event win at the RBC Heritage a week later, with Scheffler continuing his winning run at The Memorial Tournament and the Travelers Championship.

A spectacular final-round 62 saw Scheffler claim gold for Team USA in Paris, while he capped off a stellar campaign – in which he also won the Byron Nelson Award for low-scoring average – by securing the FedExCup for the first time with a four-shot victory over Collin Morikawa at East Lake.

Scheffler has wound up in the same conversation with Woods a lot lately – from his statistics, the first to win seven times in a season since Woods in 2007, and the first to hold the world No 1 spot for the entire year since Woods in 2009.

“There’s really only one Tiger,” Scheffler said. “I’m trying to get the best out of myself and that’s really all I’m focused on.

“I’m not chasing records or chasing history or anything like that, I’m just trying to day in and day out continue to improve a little bit, just go out there and compete, have fun.”
