Rory McIlroy has been named Golfer of the Year by the European Tour, receiving the honor for the second straight year and third time since 2012.
McIlroy won three times this year on the European Tour, including a victory at the season-ending DP World Tour Championship that allowed him to successfully defend his Race to Dubai title. He earned the award over a list of nominees that included Justin Rose, Branden Grace, Andy Sullivan, Anirban Lahiri and Danny Willett.
"It is a huge honor for me to be named European Tour Golfer of the Year again," McIlroy said.
