Every PGA Tour Player Of The Year Winner Since 1990

Scottie Scheffler holds the PGA Tour Player of the Year trophy.

PGA Tour players have a number of prestigious trophies to play for each season, and arguably the biggest is the Jack Nicklaus Award.

It might not come with a financial benefit, but if you win the award of PGA Tour Player of the Year it means you've had a year to savor.

Unlike the LPGA Tour Player of the Year award, there is no set criteria for the PGA Tour's POY, which is voted for by PGA Tour players themselves. Members who have played in at least 15 tournaments can cast their vote as to who they believe deserves to be crowned Player of the Year.

The award dates back to 1990, and Tiger Woods has unsurprisingly won it the most times. The 15-time Major champion has been voted Player of the Year an incredible 11 times - which is eight times more than his closest challenger Rory McIlroy.

This year's POY is set to be World No.1 Scottie Scheffler or No.2 Xander Schauffele. The winner will be announced towards the end of the year or maybe even in early 2025.
