In a stunning display of sustained excellence, Scottie Scheffler has earned his fourth straight PGA Tour Player of the Year award, joining Tiger Woods as the only players to achieve this feat. The season culminated in six victories, including two majors, and solidified Scheffler’s place at the pinnacle of modern golf.
The mark of his season: six tournament wins, highlighted by the PGA championship and the British Open. This duo of majors left him poised on the doorstep of a career Grand Slam. He also became the first player as Woods in 2000 to own the lowest scoring average across all four rounds on the PGA Tour, finishing the year with 15 consecutive top-10s to cap a remarkable campaign.
“Consistency has defined my approach over the last couple of years,” Scheffler said in a conference call. “It’s not easy to show up and finish in the top 10 every week, but that focus and preparation have helped me perform week in and week out.”
Scheffler was among a poised trio on the ballot-rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Ben Griffin.The vote is conducted by players, and the tour did not disclose vote percentages. Woods, a 11-time recipient, captured the award five straight times from 1999 through 2003.
McIlroy enjoyed a stellar year as well with a Masters playoff victory that completed his career Grand Slam quest and added titles at Pebble Beach and The Players Championship. Yet Scheffler’s ascent has been a narrative of relentless consistency as securing his first PGA Tour title in 2022. He has 19 victories in his last 80 events and, including an Olympic gold medal in Paris, has finished in the top three in just over 46% of his PGA Tour starts.
This season,Scheffler led the tour in 17 statistical categories,ranging from tee-to-green precision to the frequency of converting bogeys into birdies,and earned more than $27 million in official prize money.
Off the course, Scheffler’s resilience stood out. He injured his right hand the previous Christmas after slicing it with a wine glass while making ravioli. He missed nearly two months, only regaining his form a week before the Masters in Houston, where he finished as a runner-up. From then on, he posted a run where no result was worse than a tie for eighth, and he completed 21 straight rounds in the 60s.
He also captured the CJ Cup Byron Nelson title in the Dallas area, matching the PGA Tour record with a 72-hole total of 253, an eight-shot margin of victory. “I started slow but found momentum in May, and this year just kept building,” Scheffler reflected.
Aldrich Potgieter was named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, the sole rookie to win a full FedEx Cup-point tournament and qualify for the postseason among five rookies who claimed victories this season.
