No surprise here as Jordan Spieth was voted PGA Tour player of the year, giving him a sweep of the awards board. Winning the Tour championship removed any doubt that Jason Day's fabulous summer had provided.
Just to remind you, Spieth had five wins this year, including the Masters and U.S. Open to become the youngest player since Tiger Woods to win the Jack Nicklaus Award. Spieth also won the Arnold Palmer Award by topping the money list with a record $12 million, and the Vardon Trophy for having the lowest adjusted scoring average. Woods is the only other player to sweep the awards, win a major and the FedEx Cup.
Spieth will lead the Presidents Cup against Day and his International mates in South Korea next week. The Americans are 8-1-1 in the ten events so far and are heavy favourites again. Jim Furyk has had to withdraw with a wrist injury. JB Holmes will replace him
Daniel Berger was voted rookie of the year.
