Scottie Scheffler wins fourth straight PGA Tour Player of Year award

World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler, whose six victories in 2025 included the PGA Championship and Open Championship, won the Jack Nicklaus Award as the PGA Tour Player of the Year.

Scheffler, 29, is the first golfer since Tiger Woods (1999-2003) to win the award in four consecutive seasons.

Remarkably, Scheffler finished first in 30% of his 20 starts this past season, was in the top 10 in 17 events and in the top 25 in all of them.

South Africa's Aldrich Potgieter, who survived a playoff at the Rocket Classic in Detroit to become the PGA Tour's ninth-youngest champion since the start of the 1983 season, was named the Arnold Palmer Award winner as the Rookie of the Year.
