Tiger Woods has been voted male Golfer of the Year in the annual Golf Writers of America Awards, the PGA Tour said on Thursday.
Woods received 84 percent of the vote (168 votes) with 10 percent for Steve Stricker and six percent for PGA Championship winner Yang Yong-eun.
The American was a runaway winner of the award for the 10th time in 13 seasons despite the recent tabloid revelations about his personal life.
Woods has taken an "indefinite break" from the game after admitting to being unfaithful to his wife.
South Korean Jiyai Shin, the LPGA’s Rookie of the Year, won the female player award while Loren Roberts won the senior player of the year prize.
