Tiger Woods Wins Golfer of the Year Award for 2006

Tiger Woods said this may have been his toughest year on the tour, however he still managed to win the Top Golfer of the Year Award voted on by his peers. This is the eighth time in ten seasons that Tiger has won the award.

Tiger lost his father early in the year. Then he missed the cut for the US Open for the first time in his career. He then recovered by winning the next two majors - the British Open and the PGA Championship. He won more than 50% of the tournaments he played in the US this year.

Says Tiger on a conference call with reporters, "...it was certainly the most difficult year I've ever had. My whole deal is just to try to get better every year. I win tournaments along the way if I continue to improve."

Tiger won the Dubai Desert Classic and the PGA Grand Slam of Golf this year. He led US tour players in earnings. Tiger racked up nearly $10 million in winnings.

Woods has now won 72 titles, 54 on the PGA Tour, numbers that make him the fifth-most successful player in PGA history and he is only 30 years old.
