Tiger Woods has been voted player of the year by his fellow professionals on the USPGA Tour for the fourth consecutive year.
"It's always special to have the votes of the other players," said Woods.
"I'm especially proud to have won this award four consecutive times. It's a great year when you win one major championship, so I was really pleased to win two in 2002 plus three other PGA Tour events."
Woods (27) triumphed in The Masters and US Open and amassed nearly $7 million in prize money.
Last month he was named golfer of the year for the fourth straight year by US golf writers.
Hale Irwin was voted player of the year on the senior tour. The 57-year-old broke the $3 million barrier in prize money.
And 24-year-old American Jonathan Byrd was named rookie of the year in his first year on the circuit, which he crowned with victory at the Buick Challenge in Pine Mountain, Georgia in October.
