2016 Player of the Year

Dustin Johnson wins PGA TOUR Player of the Year

NAPA, Calif. (AP) — Dustin Johnson’s first major was only part of a dream season that culminated with the PGA Tour player of the year award on Tuesday.

Johnson made it a clean sweep of the tour’s biggest honors that are named after its most prominent players. He won the Jack Nicklaus Award as player of the year, the Arnold Palmer Award for leading the money list and the Byron Nelson Award for having the lowest adjusted scoring average.

“I don’t even know if I dreamed this would be happening,” Johnson said.

Johnson previously won the PGA of America’s points-based award as player of the year and the Vardon Trophy for the lowest scoring average.
