American golfer Tiger Woods has won the PGA points-based award for player of the year on the strength of his five PGA Tour victories, the money title and the Vardon Trophy.
According to Sport24, Adam Scott would have had to win the Tour Championship and the Vardon Trophy for the race to end in a tie.
Woods had 90 points, 10 points for each of his five wins, 20 points each for the money title and Vardon Trophy for lowest adjusted scoring average, the report said.
It was the 11th time that Woods won PGA player of the year, and ninth time he won the Vardon. He had not won either award since 2009, the year that ended with his personal life unraveling, the report added.
Woods said he was 'very satisfied' with his season, even though it was his fifth straight year without a major, the report further said.
