The 5 nominees for Player of the Year have been named minutes ago. If you are just reading this space for the first time, you won't know that in my opinion there is only 1 consideration, especially after he won the season ender and the money title at Disney.. Luke Donald.
Players were nominated by the PGA TOUR Player Advisory Council (PAC) and Player Directors. The awards are determined by a member vote, with PGA TOUR members who played in at least 15 official money events in 2011 eligible to vote. The winners are expected to be announced the week of Dec. 12
