From Associated Press
NEW YORK — Vijay Singh won the PGA Tour player of the year award Monday for the first time, ending Tiger Woods’ five-year hold on the honor with a season that left no debate about who was No. 1 in golf.
Singh captured the PGA Championship among his nine victories and became the first player to surpass $10 million in one season. No one else won more than three times, and his earnings were nearly twice as much as Ernie Els’.
Singh earlier won the PGA of America player of the year, which is determined by points.
