Adam Scott tops Tiger Woods for Golf Writers Association of America player of 2013 award A year to remember... Adam Scott won four times in 2013, including the Masters, and joined Jason Day in winning the World Cup for Australia. ADAM Scott has narrowly beaten out Tiger Woods as player of the year in voting by the Golf Writers Association of America. Thank you," Scott said from Kapalua, where he's playing in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. Mickelson won the British Open for the third leg of the Grand Slam, along with the Phoenix Open and the Scottish Open. Second place ...Tiger Woods won five times on the PGA Tour in 2013, but no majors. Park rose to No.1 in the women's world ranking shortly after winning the Kraft Nabisco Championship. She won the LPGA Championship, and made it three straight majors at the US Women's Open. She led women's golf with six victories and captured the US LPGA Tour money title for the second straight year. "Last year was a year that I could never forget," Park said. I was able to put my name among the greatest players around the world. Now, on top of that, I am being recognised and honoured by golf writers. They are those who know what has just happened last year in every detail. I can almost say that they know me better than I know myself. That's why this honour is very special and means a lot to me. They will be honored on April 9 at the annual GWAA Awards Dinner in Augusta, Georgia. Easy winner... Inbee Park holds up three fingers next to her US Women's Open trophy.
