PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Florida - Britain's Luke Donald, the first player to win the US and European tour money titles in the same year, was named the US PGA Player of the Year on Tuesday in a vote of US tour players.
World No 1 Donald, the first Englishman to win the award since it was founded in 1990, won the last US PGA event of the year, the Children's Miracle Network Classic, to claim the US money title with $6,683,214.
Donald, who turned 34 last week, won the European Tour's Race to Dubai, making birdies on the final three holes at the Dubai World Championships to finish atop the European Tour money list with 5.323 million euros.
