PGA Tour Player of the Year?

From the Tiger Woods scandal to the Dustin Johnson penalty, 2010 has been thoroughly unpredictable and entertaining.  Besides the Fedex Cup champ, the only thing to be decided is "Player of the Year".

It's been nearly 25 years since they've given the award to a player that hadn't won a Major Championship (Paul Azinger - 1987). 

It may just happen this year.  The only one of the four Major champions with a shot, and it's a long one, would be Phil Mickelson.  I think that he would need to win the final event of the year to earn it.  Graham McDowell, Louis Oosthuizen and Martin Kaymer spent the majority of their season on the European tour so they're out.

Here are my final three.  Let me know what you think.

3. Steve Stricker (requires a win this week to get my vote)



Two wins and steady play throughout 2010 puts Stricker near the top.



2. Dustin Johnson (needs to outplay my current #1)



Dustin's great play at the Majors along with his 2 wins and current standing in the Fedex Cup (2nd) gets his name near the top of the list.



1. Matt Kuchar (needs to outplay Dustin Johnson and pray that Stricker or Phil don't win)



Kuchar leads the Tour in earnings, scoring average and is in position to take home $10 million as the Fedex Cup Champ.... [More]
