Tiger Woods has been voted the 2006 PGA Tour Player of the Year by his peers for the eighth time in 10 years.
The world number one netted the honour after a year that saw him win eight events and take his haul of majors to 12, six short of Jack Nicklaus' 18.
Woods won the Open and USPGA, but also lost his father Earl to cancer.
"It's always an honour to get the respect of your peers - this year has been interesting to say the least, on and off the golf course," he said.
"I played as bad as I did at the US Open and to get it going after that was nice, because I was playing well early in the year and then in the springtime got a little bit more.
"I went back to the same things I was working on at the beginning of the year and they started clicking in and I won a few tournaments."
Woods led the tour with $9.9m (£5m) in prize money and also won the Byron Nelson Trophy for the lowest scoring average at 68.11.
PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said: "He has raised his game to the highest level and sustained that excellence.
"Winning the Jack Nicklaus Trophy again is testimony to his greatness."
South African Trevor Immelman, who won the Western Open and more than $3.8m (£1.9m) in prize money, was named the US tour's Rookie of the Year.
American Steve Stricker was named the Comeback Player of the Year after posting seven top-10 finishes in 17 starts, including a share of second at the Booz Allen Classic.
