Im giving this one to Padraig. As controversial and debatable this can get, I would give it to Harrington. My only reasoning behind this is because its time for someone else to get player of the year instead of Tiger...

Either one of these guys deserve it.

If Paddy bounces back and wins the FedExCup, he can steal the Player of the Year award. If he doesn't, however, it's Tiger's again. Woods' record this year was incredible, even though he only played 6 tournaments or whatever it was.

Golfer of the first half of the year; Tiger Woods,

Golfer of the entire year; Padraigh Harrington.

You cannot ignore the TWO majors in a year which was enough for Mark O'Meara to win the honours in '98 when he did the same thing despite Duval winning or placing in everything. Some said it was unfair but agin... TWO majors. When it comes to measuring greatness in 2008 that is twice as good as any other. The fact he plays all over the world and across two tours and can still do it all is further testament to that. I really look forward to the day when the Tigers of the PGA tour do play everywhere even when the oil tycoons aren't paying them a squillion dollars to do it. The days of Nicklaus et al coming to Australia for the Aus Open seem tragically to be over... sorry i got a little off point there so I will stop there on my rant.

I think it has to be Harrington. IMO, it would be an injustice if Tiger gets it.

Fairway woods: Howson tour master power series 3,5 woods
Irons: MacGregor M675 3-PW DG S300

Putter: Pinfire Golf P4
Ball: Titleist NXT Tour

Harrington get's my vote because when more time goes by and you look back it's all about the majors.

I'd have to say Tiger. I mean, I know he didn't win has many majors has Padraig, but he won a mojor playing only with one leg, litteraly...

Besides, of the 6 times he played, he was top-5 every time. No one else has done that..


In my bag:

Titleist 905 Aldila VS Proto| TaylorMade r9 stiff shaft| Titleist 906F Aldila NV 75-S Fairway| Titleist ZM S300 (3-PW) |Titleist 54º SM TT Wedge Flex| Titleist 60º SM TT Wedge Flex| Scotty Cameron Newport 2

09 Goals

- Handicap to 2 (I'm crazy I know)
- Win 10 tournaments (dune)
- Win every match play match
- Be the best golfer at my club (currently, 2th best)
- Improve overall game


Play 1 shot at a time. It is that simple.
