Woods wins some awards, loses others
HOUSTON (AP) - Tiger Woods held onto the PGA Tour money title Sunday only because Davis Love III made two bogeys on the back nine at the Tour Championship, but Woods finished second in stroke average behind Nick Price.
Woods finished 12th in the season-ending event and ended the year with a record $2,066,833.
Love, who finished two-strokes behind winner David Duval after a bogey on the final hole, would have passed Woods on the money list if he had won the tournament.
Love's failure to win at the Champions Golf Club also meant that Woods will likely be voted player of the year when PGA Tour members cast their ballots later this month.
The results of that voting will be announced at the season-opening Mercedes Championships in January.
Woods has already won the PGA of America's player of the year, which is based on a points system gauged to the strength of tournaments won.
Woods won four events this year, including the Masters by a record 12 strokes, but has not won since July 6. Duval won the last three tournaments of the year and became the first player ever to get his first three victories consecutively.
Love won twice, including the PGA Championship.
Nick Price, who played nearly 20 fewer rounds than Woods this year, won the PGA of America's Vardon Trophy for the lowest adjusted stroke average, finishing at 68.98 to Woods' 69.10.
Price also won the title in 1993.
Stewart Cink likely will be voted PGA Tour rookie of the year
and Hale Irwin, who has won nine times, is the clear winner as
player of the year on the Senior Tour.
