The PGA Tour announced Saturday morning that Scottie Scheffler has been named the 2021-22 PGA Tour Player of the Year.
Scheffler received 89 percent of the votes to win the Jack Nicklaus award over Rory McIlroy and Cameron Smith after a season that saw the former Longhorn win four times, including his first major championship, the 2022 Masters.
PGA Tour members who played at least 15 official FedExCup events during the 2021-22 season were eligible to vote.
The world No. 1 spent four years at the University of Texas and received the award while making an appearance on ESPN’s College Gameday in Austin as the Longhorns prepared to host the Alabama Crimson Tide.
