Dustin Johnson wins PGA Tour Player of the Year

Dustin Johnson completed the Player of the Year two-fer on Tuesday, when the PGA Tour announced Johnson’s peers had voted him recipient of their POY award.

Johnson was one of six candidates on the ballot for PGA Tour players to acknowledge as having the best 2015-16 season. It’s hard to argue against Johnson, who won his first major at the U.S. Open in June, as well the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and the BMW Championship during the FedEx Cup playoffs. Johnson also finished second in the final FedEx Cup standings, behind Rory McIlroy.

The South Carolina native also had a remarkably consistent season, notching 15 top-10 finishes in 22 starts.

Curiously, Johnson said Tuesday in accepting the award that he didn’t vote for himself. In fact, he didn’t vote at all. For what it’s worth, Jason Day had the second-best season by most standards, winning three times, including The Players, the WGC-Dell Match Play and the Arnold Palmer Invitational. However, an injury-plagued finish to the season may have cost him an opportunity to win the award.

During the week of the Ryder Cup, the PGA of America announced Johnson had won their points-based Player of the Year award. Johnson has also won the Vardon Trophy, which is awarded to the player with the lowest adjusted scoring average, as well the Palmer Trophy, awarded to the player who wins the money list title, and the Nelson Trophy, the PGA Tour’s scoring average title.

With so many awards and accomplishments in tow from this year, Johnson doesn’t feel like he’s reached his pinnacle. Rather, he feels he’s finally on his way to realizing his true potential.

“Obviously my expectations going into next year are going to be very high, and that’s going to drive me to keep continuing to work hard and keep doing exactly what I’m doing because it’s working,” he said Tuesday. “I’ve got a lot of confidence in the game right now, in all parts of the game. I feel good. There’s nothing that I don’t feel good with.”
