After moving from the disabled list to the winner's circle in 2018, Tiger Woods was named as the latest recipient of the Ben Hogan Award by the Golf Writers Association of America.
The award is handed out annually to a player who "has overcome a physical handicap or serious injury to remain active in golf." Woods underwent a spinal fusion in April 2017 and returned to action last year, contending at both The Open and PGA Championship before his season culminated with a drought-breaking victory at the Tour Championship. He received the award in a vote over fellow nominees Patrick Cantlay and Billy Harmon.
