Actually, two of them: Woods earned the PGA Tour Player of the Award in a vote by his peers. Much earlier, he had wrapped up the points-based PGA Player of the Year Award, given by the PGA of America.
It's the eighth time Woods has won each award. The PGA Tour's award (called the Jack Nicklaus Award) has been given since 1990, and no other player has won more than two. The PGA's award has been given since 1948, and no other golfer has won more than six (Tom Watson). View the full list of PGA Players of the Year.
Woods won eight times on the PGA Tour in 2006, including two majors, and including six consecutive wins to close out the year. Where does Woods' season rank among the other great years in PGA Tour history? Pretty darn high, we say. Check out the Top 10 Seasons in Golf History.
