2008 Masters Champion - Padraig Harrington

Must have missed this...

Luke Donald could become the first British golfer to win the PGA Tour Player of the Year award after he was named on a five-man shortlist.

Americans Keegan Bradley, Bill Haas, Webb Simpson and Nick Watney are also in the running.

Tour professionals vote for the winner, with Donald already assured of the PGA Tour money list title.

The Englishman, who has won two events and enjoyed 14 top-10 finishes, is favourite to lift the players' award.

Luke Donald also won the Vardon Trophy on the PGA Tour this year for the lowest adjusted scoring average
Since its inception in 1990, the title - also known as the Jack Nicklaus Trophy - has been claimed by the winner of the points award on all but two occasions.

One of those to miss out on the double was Donald's fellow Englishman Nick Faldo, who failed to win the players' vote in 1990, while Corey Pavin missed out 12 months later.

Ireland's Padraig Harrington won both during his successful season in 2008, when he also won the Masters and the Open Championship.

Tiger Woods has been the Tour's most successful player, winning both awards 10 times apiece.

Pretty shameful including Bill Haas but not Charl Schwartzel . . . . .

Just shows what Finchem thinks of the Majors.

Maybe it is a premonition for 2012..... Who knows what Harrington will be playing like after the Winter Tinker 2011.

I actually think Harrington is going to have a good 2012 with the change of coach invigorating his game.
