“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, whose victories this year also included the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
Germany’s Martin Kaymer was runner-up after wins at the US Open and the Players Championship, while Europe’s Ryder Cup team, who beat the United States at Gleneagles, was voted into third place.
