Surprise, surprise ... Tiger Woods is US
PGA Tour Player of the Year
Tiger Woods had been voted United States PGA Tour Player of the Year by his peers, the third straight year he has won the award and the ninth time in his 11 years as a pro.
Jay Haas was named the US Champions (Seniors) Tour Player of the Year, while Nick Flanagan won the award on the Nationwide Tour.
Woods also won the PGA of America's Player of the Year title through a points-based system. The US PGA Tour award is a vote by tour members. Phil Mickelson was the only other player in the ballot.
In 2007, Tiger Woods won seven times, including the US PGA Championship, his 13th career major. He also won two of the four events in the US PGA Tour play-offs to capture the inaugural FedEx Cup.
It gave him another sweep of US PGA Tour awards named after three of the biggest names in American golfing history -- the Jack Nicklaus Trophy for player of the year, the Arnold Palmer Award for leading the money list ($10.8 million) and the Byron Nelson Trophy for having the lowest scoring average (67.79).
Steve Stricker was voted comeback player of the year, the first player to win the award in consecutive seasons. He won in 2006 after starting the year with conditional status and finishing 34th on the money list. This year, he won for the first time in more than six years and was fourth on the money list, moving into the top five in the world ranking.
Brandt Snedeker was rookie of the year. He won the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina. George McNeill was the only other rookie to win this year, although Snedeker was the only rookie to reach the Tour Championship.
