Player of the Year 2010...

[RichF]

...gets decided this weekend in Dubai World Championship .

Kaymer v McDowell : whoever wins out of these two gets the nod, IMO

[TXjammer]

McDowell ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!

McDowell ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!

McDowell, this year, has a US Open major, 2 Euro-Tour wins, 4 top-five finishes and a great Ryder Cup.

Kaymer has a PGA Championship major, 3 Euro-Tour wins and 2 top-five finishes. (he also had a couple of top-ten major finishes) I think if McG gets in the Top 10 ahead of Kaymer this weekend, he just gets it for me also...

McDowell ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!

AGREED! G-Mac has had a great year as pointed out above. Kaymer had an arguably equal year, however I think G-MAC is the winner!

Didn't Jim Furyk already win? Or is this someone else's award?

Jim Furyk is one of five nominated for PGA (Tour or PGA, I don't remember) player of the year.

[Tiger Spuds]

The PGA of America named Furyk their player of the year.

The PGA tour Jack Nicklaus trophy will be between Ernie Els, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Matt Kuchar and Furyk. How Phil made that list is beyond me.

I don't know if there's a dedicated award for European tour player of the year, I'd assume so, but winning in Dubai this week is pretty much stating that you've been the Euro tour's best player for the year anyway.

Given the fact that the PGA of America and the PGA Tour

have picked the same person every year since 1992 , I would expect Furyk to win. FWIW, here are the results for the Euro Tour POTY for past years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PGA_Eur...es_of_the_year

Not really looking at the PGA Tour cos no-one stands out in it, really...Furyk doesn't 'light up' the golfing world, did nothing in the Majors and has a couple of wins to his name in 2010.

[Fontaine]

I think it should be decided this week. The one that wins race to Dubai, is POY.

[VOX]

Various groups like the US PGA and the European tour name players of the year on their tour, but I don't think there is any question that McDowell has had the best year in golf.

Sure, he's had a

great year , but I don't think it's beyond doubt he's had the best year.

Anyone see Rory McIlroy's eagle putt today in Dubai? It was awful.

David Howell on commentary referred to it as the worst putt ever, in the history of the game.

Hopefully it'll be on youtube in the next few hours.

Care to say how...?

Haha, must have been the putt that (almost) went into the water hazard.

He had to putt over a ridge, but the ball did not make it to the other side. Instead of rolling over and breaking to the left big time, it stayed at the top and broke to the right, away from the whole and stopped on the read water hazard line.

Well Kaymer's won the Race to Dubai. Finished -6, same score as McDowell. Poulter and Robert Karlsson in a playoff for the Dubai championship.

[andy-golf]

mcilroy has had a great year he has been consistant but has not won

Actually, all 3 European Tour members who won a major finished at -6 in the final tournament.
