Scottie Scheffler

Scottie Scheffler matched Tiger Woods by becoming the only second man to win the PGA Tour player of the year award in three consecutive seasons.

The American world number one collected his third Jack Nicklaus Award after winning 91% of the vote from his fellow players.

Scheffler won seven titles across the season, including a second Masters title at Augusta National in April.

Scheffler was the first player to win seven titles in a single season since Woods in 2007.

Woods, 48, has won the award 11 times in his career and he collected it five times in a row between 1999 and 2003, and then won three consecutive awards again from 2005-07.
