RORY McILROY has been voted the US PGA Tour player of the year for the second time in three seasons.

He won The Open, WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and US PGA Championship and finished in the top 25 in every US event in 2014.

The 25-year-old Northern Irishman had already claimed the Arnold Palmer Award as the tour's leading money winner (£5.1million) and the Byron Nelson Award for best scoring average (68.83).

The world No.1 said. "Being voted player of the year by your peers means a lot to me."

Rookie of the year was Chesson Hadley.
