Prior to Padraig winning the PGA I would have said Tiger (based on his # of wins and winning %). It's all Paddy's now though. Two majors is way too much to get past...

Does one have to play a certain number of PGA tour events to qaulify for PGA player of the year? If so I wonder if Padraig qaulifies? He surely will be the European tour player of the year.

Tiger made six starts on the PGA Tour this year. Harrington has made eleven. If there is a minimum, then Tiger does not qualify. I don't know if there is an events number, however, its the players who actually decide the winner.

He's on medical leave, so I think he would qualify.

Regardless, I don't think there's a minimum, but the guy has to be a member of the PGA Tour. Harrington, I believe, is a member in good standing.

Harrington has got to be the PGA player of the year so far. Tiger's performance at the US Open was good, and it was a spectacle to watch, but he hardly beat a world class player to win. In both majors, Harrington beat a world class field twice so i feel that he deserves this award. I would put Greg Norman in second place due to his performance at The Open (British) and Tiger a close third with Sergio and Kenny Perry (sorry to e controversial, but i don't come on here to add to my portfolio of friends and acquiantances).

I'd give it to both of them.

That's not the way it goes obviously, just saying. Both are great golf players. 2008 isn't the final year of golf, there are still many more years for those two.

whats the difference between the field that was at the masters and us open? i didn't know that the Open Champ and the PGA had "better players". Oh, and Greg Norman? LOL. I love Greg Norman but he's had his time. And by the way...that time didn't come with any majors. And Sergio? another LOL. Yet another player who hasn't won a major. So it's not like Paddy took out someone like Tiger playing his A game or even Phil or Vijay playing their A game.

I think it's Padraigs award, but your reasoning is just...i don't know. There's no words for it.

Padraig can only beat what is put in front of him. He played out of is skin to win the British and beat Sergio, ben Curtis and some big names to win the PGA Champs.

1 Harrington 2 Greg Norman 3 Tiger and Kenny Perry. Its a subjective thing player of the year and you dont necessarily have to give it to the best player playing the best golf. Ive given it for memorability as well as player performance.

I think it should be Harrington no matter what. As much as I love Tiger, you just can't give it to him since he only was around for half the year. And please tell me that you're kidding me with throwing Greg Norman's name into the mix. Stupidest thing I've ever read, if that is what you mean.

If I had to decide right now, I'd say Harrington; with big tournaments on the horizon, if Perry wins one or two of those, he'd be the only one who I think could possibly surpass him at this point.
