Scheffler wins fourth straight PGA Tour Player of the Year

Los Angeles (United States) (AFP) – World number one Scottie Scheffler has been voted PGA Tour Player of the Year for a fourth straight season after a campaign that included two major wins, the tour announced on Monday. Scheffler, who won six titles in 2025, is just the second player after Tiger Woods to receive the accolade in four or more consecutive seasons.

“Scottie’s consistent level of success has been nothing short of spectacular as he continues to chase history on the PGA Tour, and we’re excited to see what he will deliver in 2026,” said tour chief executive Brian Rolapp.
