Today the PGA Tour named Jordan Spieth as the PGA TOUR Player of
the Year and Jack Nicklaus Award recipient, and Daniel Berger as PGA
TOUR Rookie of the Year, as voted by the TOUR’s membership for the
2014-15 season. PGA TOUR members who played in at least 15 official money events this
past season were eligible to vote. The balloting process ended on
October 1. The 22-year-old Spieth became the youngest PGA TOUR Player of the Year since Tiger Woods won the award at the age of 21 in 1997.
“The PGA TOUR enjoyed a sensational season from every perspective as our young stars shone brighter than ever before, but none brighter than the PGA TOUR Player of the Year Jordan Spieth,” said PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem. “He captivated us throughout a memorable year that included the FedExCup and five victories, highlighted by two major championships. And the sportsmanship he displayed in both victory and defeat was a stirring indication of the role model and ambassador he has become in a very short period of time.” One of nine PGA TOUR rookies who advanced to the FedExCup Playoffs, Berger, 22, earned his spot as the only rookie at the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola after a runner-up finish in the penultimate Playoffs event, the BMW Championship.
