Tiger Woods wins PGA Tour Player of the Year after five-win season in America

World number one Tiger Woods has been named PGA Tour Player of the Year for a record 11th time.

Despite not adding to his tally of 14 majors in 2013, Woods enjoyed an excellent time on the PGA Tour with five victories from the 16 events he started.

Those wins - at the Farmers Insurance Open, Arnold Palmer Invitational, WGC-Cadillac Championship, Players Championship and WGC-Bridgestone Invitational - were enough to give Woods the nod over major winners Adam Scott and Phil Mickelson as well as FedEx Cup champion Henrik Stenson.

The 20-year-old American capped a hugely promising season, which saw him win the John Deere Classic in July and amass nearly $4m in earnings, by finishing runner-up in the season-ending Tour Championship.

Spieth became the first player since Woods in 1996 to begin the season with no status on any tour and advance all the way to the Tour Championship.

Pretty good year

Woods said: "I had a number of chances to win some tournaments. I won five, which is, I think, a pretty good year. I've done that a few times over the course of my career.

"I wish I would have been a little more consistent in some of the events, but overall, at the end of the day, to add to the win total for the year, it's always a good thing."

"I had a number of chances to win some tournaments. I won five, which is, I think, a pretty good year."

PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said in a statement: "Tiger's five wins came against some of the strongest fields in golf including the Players and two World Golf Championships while Jordan's rookie season was historic in terms of his accomplishments for a player just 20 years old.

"The member vote reflects the respect their peers have for both players."
