Following an incredible year that included four PGA Tour wins, Scottie Scheffler has been named the 2022 PGA Tour Player of the Year as voted by the Tour’s membership for the 2021-22 season.
The World No.1 made 25 starts during 2021-22, with Scheffler claiming 18 top-25's, including a remarkable 10 top-5's. Along with the accolades, he becomes the first ever player to secure the Korn Ferry Tour Player of the Year, PGA Tour Rookie of the Year and PGA Tour Player of the Year.
“On behalf of the PGA Tour, congratulations to Scottie on his remarkable season and his unprecedented achievements,” said PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan.
“Undoubtedly, one of the highest compliments a player can receive is the endorsement from his peers, and the fact that Scottie’s season was both dominant and consistent spoke volumes to the membership.
"And as gratifying as it has been to see his development on the course over the last several years, we are equally thankful that Scottie has embraced the role as an ambassador of the PGA Tour and the game of golf. With young stars like Scottie leading the way, the PGA Tour is in great hands for many years to come.”
