The PGA Tour has announced Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele and Scottie Scheffler on its shortlist for Player of the Year and the Jack Nicklaus Award; Nick Dunlap, Max Greyserman, Jake Knapp and Matthieu Pavon are in contention for the Rookie of the Year award

Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele are all in the running to be crowned the PGA Tour’s Player of the Year, but who will secure the Jack Nicklaus Award?

The PGA Tour has named McIlroy, Scheffler and Schauffele – the world’s top three – as its three nominees for the 2024 season, with all of them winning multiple times over the past 12 months.

Scheffler registered seven PGA Tour titles on his way to FedExCup victory and also won Olympic gold, although his win at The Masters was his only major success compared to Schauffele’s two.

Schauffele and Scheffler both enjoyed consistent seasons, posting 15 and 16 top-10 finishes respectively during 2024 and not missing a cut, while McIlroy competes the three-man shortlist after winning twice on the PGA Tour last season.

The Player of the Year award is determined by a member vote, with PGA Tour members who played in at least 15 events during the 2024 season eligible to vote. The voting closes on December 4 and the winner will be announced by the end of the year.
