Scottie Scheffler has clinched the PGA Tour Player of the Year award for a remarkable third straight year, becoming the first to achieve this feat since Tiger Woods. His 2024 season highlights include seven PGA Tour wins, a Masters victory, an Olympic gold medal, and the season-long FedExCup title.

Scheffler's dominance on the greens was undisputed, with 16 top-10 finishes out of 19 starts, and he retained the world number one ranking without missing a single cut.
