The award is chosen by a vote from other professional golfers, indicating that despite the raging opinions of many in the mass public, those in Woods’ professional circle are recognizing him for him talents instead of ostracizing him for his mistakes.
PGA Commissioner, Timothy Finchem, said in a press statement that released Friday, “The recognition by [his] peers is one of the highest compliments a PGA Tour member can receive.” The statement also mentioned six tournaments Woods won in 2009, but steered clear of any mentioning of the recent car accident and infidelity admissions which have been in the forefront of the media.
