Scheffler Wins Second Award Following 2022
Korda Sweeps with 88.6% of First-Place Votes

Scottie Scheffler and Nelly Korda (both from the United States) were honored as the best male and female golf players of 2024.

Scottie Scheffler

The Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA) announced on the 11th (local time) that Scheffler was selected as the Male Player of the Year and Korda as the Female Player of the Year. Scheffler received 87.5% of the first-place votes, while Korda received 88.6%.

This is Scheffler's second award, following his win in 2022. Last year, he won seven times on the PGA Tour, including the gold medal at the Paris Olympics and the Hero World Challenge hosted by the Tiger Woods Foundation, achieving first place in nine major tournaments. Scheffler said, "I won many tournaments last year and my son was born," adding, "2024 will be an unforgettable year."

Nelly Korda

Korda also had an outstanding year. Last year, she set a tour record by winning the first five events of the LPGA Tour season. She swept seven victories throughout the season, including the major Chevron Championship, establishing herself as the undisputed top female golfer. Korda said, "I am happy to receive this prestigious award for the second time, following 2021."

The GWAA is an organization of journalists who cover golf in the United States. It was founded in 1946 and has selected the Player of the Year annually by member voting since 1975. The awards ceremony will be held on the day before the Masters, a major tournament, at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, USA, this coming April.
