PGA Tour News: Tiger Woods’s Player of the Year Cabinet Explored

If you ask a golf fan, many will claim Tiger Woods to be the best golfer to ever exist. The recently turned 48-year-old is currently recovering from a right foot injury. This injury has caused him to miss out on multiple PGA Tour events. He made only five starts in official PGA Tour events in the past two seasons.

But his legacy is something that cannot be ignored. He has been consistently winning the Player of the Year Award for years. But fans might be wondering how many times has he won the prestigious award.

How many Player of the Year Awards has Tiger Woods won?

The Player of the Year award for golfers on the PGA Tour is handed out twice by two different organizations: the PGA Tour itself, plus the PGA of America. While the PGA of America’s Player of the Year award started before, the PGAT’s version has now become more popular.

But it rarely matters as most of the time both awards have been given to the same golfer. But like everyone expected, Woods holds the record for most Player of the Year awards won by a PGA Tour golfer. The 48-year-old has won the award for a record eleven times!

Woods got his first Player of the Year Award in 1997, and then he was the consistent pick. The American golfer won the award in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2013.+
