Official World Golf Ranking: World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler has won the Jack Nicklaus Award as the PGA Tour Player of the Year for the 2024 season.

Scheffler, who won seven PGA TOUR events in 2024, the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics and the season-long FedExCup title, is the first player since Tiger Woods (2005-2007) to win Player of the Year honours in three consecutive seasons.
