Summary World number one Rory McIlroy has won the Golf Writers Trophy for the second time in three years.
(AFP) - World number one Rory McIlroy has won the Golf Writers Trophy for the second time in three years after a season that saw him win two major championships and help Europe to Ryder Cup success.
The 25-year-old Northern Irishman was the overwhelming choice for the prestigious award following votes cast by members of the Association of Golf Writers.
"To win it for the first time in 2012 felt like a great achievement but to win again in 2014 is testimony to what has been a truly fabulous year for me," said McIlroy.
In addition to his victories in the Open Championship and the US PGA Championship, McIlroy also won the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
