US golf writers name Tiger player of the year
Tiger Woods has been voted male player of the year by the Golf Writers Association of America by an overwhelming margin over Steve Stricker, with most ballots returns after he became embroiled in a sex scandal.
It was the 10th time Woods has won the award in his 13 years as a pro.
LPGA Tour rookie Jiyai Shin was voted female player of the year over Lorena Ochoa, while Loren Roberts won the senior player award.
Woods, forced out for eight months with major knee surgery, returned to win six times on the US PGA Tour. He captured the FedEx Cup, along with the PGA Tour money title and the Vardon Trophy for the lowest scoring average.
He received 168 votes (84%), while Stricker had 20 votes and US PGA champion Y E Yang received 13 votes.
The players will be honoured April 7 in Augusta, Georgia, at the GWAA's annual awards dinner, by which time Tiger Woods may be back in circulation.
