Rahm voted European tour’s Player of the Year
VIRGINIA WATER, England — Jon Rahm was voted as the European tour’s Player of the Year for the second time in three seasons on Wednesday.
The top-ranked Rahm, of Spain, won the 2021 award after a year in which he captured his first major — the U.S. Open — and spent 27 weeks at No. 1.
Rahm was also Europe’s leading points scorer at the Ryder Cup, with 3½ from his five matches, and had top-eight finishes in the other three majors.
Rahm, the tour’s Player of the Year in 2019, too, received the newly named Seve Ballesteros Award after a vote by his fellow professionals.
“It is very unique to be recognized by your peers like this,” Rahm said. “It is a true honor to be able to win this award for a second time.”
