Scottie Scheffler beats Rory McIlroy to PGA award and breaks incredible record

World number one Scottie Scheffler has been named PGA Tour Player of the Year, finishing ahead of Rory McIlroy and Cameron Smith.

Scheffler received 89 per cent of the vote from PGA Tour members, having picked up four wins in six starts during a stunning eight-week period that began with his WM Phoenix Open win in February and was capped off by his Masters victory in April.

The 26-year-old also finished runner-up at four other events during the season and becomes the first player to win the Korn Ferry Tour Player of the Year, PGA Tour Rookie of the Year and PGA Tour Player of the Year.
