VIRGINIA WATER, England – Lee Westwood was voted as the European Tour's golfer of the year for 2020 on Monday, winning the award for the fourth time in his career after ending the season as the Race to Dubai champion at the age of 47.
Westwood started the 27th year of his professional career by winning the Abu Dhabi Championship to become the first active player to win a title across four separate decades.
He ended 2020 by being crowned the tour's No. 1 player for the third time – and 20 years after he first won what was formerly known as the Order of Merit title.
