McIlroy nominated for PGA Tour Player of the Year accolade with Scheffler and Schauffele

Rory McIlroy has been nominated for the 2024 PGA Tour Player of the Year award.

The four-time major winner faces competition from Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele for the accolade, having won his sixth Race to Dubai earlier this month.

Voted for by fellow PGA Tour members, the winner will receive the Jack Nicklaus Award.

McIlroy won the DP World Tour's Dubai Desert Classic, DP World Championship, Zurich Classic and Wells Fargo Championship during an impressive year, in which he also recorded seven top-10 finishes and missed just one cut in 19 events.

Meanwhile, Scheffler claimed his second major title at the Masters, as well as winning Olympic gold in Paris and the FedEx Cup.

Compatriot Schauffele won the first two majors of his career at the US PGA Championship and The Open, while not missing a cut in the 22 PGA Tour events he entered.
