Woods wins American Golf Writers' player of year award

Tiger Woods has been voted male Golfer of the Year in the annual Golf Writers of American Awards, the PGA Tour said yesterday.

Woods received 84 percent of the vote (168 votes), while Steve Stricker and PGA Championship winner Yang Yong-eun only polled 10 percent and six percent respectively.

The American was a runaway winner of the award for the 10th time in 13 seasons despite the recent tabloid revelations about his personal life.

Woods has taken an "indefinite break" from the game after admitting his being unfaithful to his wife.

South Korean Jiyai Shin, the LPGA's Rookie of the Year, won the female player award while Loren Roberts won the senior player of the year prize.
