Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Xander Schauffele have been named as the three men nominated for golf’s 2024 PGA Tour Player of the Year award.

All three players finished in the top 10 of the men’s individual strokeplay tournament at the Olympic Games Paris 2024, with Scheffler winning the gold medal.

The American won seven of the 19 top-tier events he entered in 2024, including the end-of-season Fedex Cup, and the Masters, his second major tournament win.

Fellow Team USA Olympian Schauffele won two tournaments this year, both of them majors – The US PGA Championship, and The Open Championship, and achieved 15 top-10 finishes and no missed cuts in his 22 PGA Tour starts. The 31-year-old finished tied for ninth at the Olympic Games.

McIlroy finished in the top 10 on seven occasions on the PGA Tour, winning the Wells Fargo Championship and Zurich Classic of New Orleans, and finishing second at the U.S. Open. Away from the North-America based tour, he also won the DP World Championship after finishing top in the Race to Dubai standings. The Team Ireland star was fifth at his second Olympic edition in France.

The three are the only nominees for the PGA’s Jack Nicklaus Award (Player of the Year), with the winner determined by a member vote, with all PGA Tour members who have played 15 events during the 2024 season eligible to cast their ballot. Voting closes on Wednesday 4th December.
