So... Paddy for Player of the year?

[bigdriveandy]

He's won half of this year's majors... so why not? I think he deserves it more than Kenny Perry or Anthony Kim.

 

What do you guys think?

[abewley]

yep.. its a lock.

[Johnny]

why not..

 

actually he deserves it.

[KevCarter]

Absolutely!

[Tamaron]

Definately

[armygolfer]

I really dont think there is any doubt about it!

[sdcfan18]

Can't see anyone else that deserves it. Only other player that I can see that might be able to take it was Perry, but the quality of the field in Perrys wins are nothing like a major. Maybe Perry could take comeback player OTY (although he has really "come back" as much as he is finally "coming on" IMO, if that makes any sense).

[oregongolf]

No question.

[bambooluv]

No doubt, Paddy is player of the year.

Ummmm, did you guys forget Tiger??

Am I missing something?

Paddy's got 2 majors... that's better the 1 last time I looked.. :black eye:

Tiger has 4(1) as opposed to 2(2), but Paddy still gets the nod in my mind.

Nobody will forget about Tiger's performance at the U.S. Open this year and it will be talked about for years to come. Nobody should take away the fact that Harrington won 2 out of the 4 majors this year! He definitely deserves player of the year!!! He's come a long way and it took a minute for his first one, but 3 majors in 2 years....not too shabby.

TW's play was so exceptional in his 6 events.......

 

That said, if Paddy doesn't have it sewed up yet, he still has some events to close the door.

[keaney91]

Tiger's US Open was one for the ages, but Paddy gets my vote- for sure!

[dlygrisse]

1. Paddy

2. Tiger

3. who cares, no one seemed to want it.

[tbowles411]

It has to be Paddy. 2 majors in a year can't be topped by anyone else...

[DT Fan]

Very interesting comments from several of the Golf World, Golf Digest, PGATOUR.com, Golfweek, Sports Illustrated writers. All say Tiger will win POY in a runaway, saying there's never been anything like what he accomplished in the US Open and in the 6 events he competed in. They seem to believe Paddy wouldn't have had a chance if Tiger had been healthy for both majors Paddy won. I find that hard to believe. How can you not acknowledge Paddy's accomplishments?

[mat562]

I don't think TW will run away with the title, but I certainly think he's in a position to generate a bit of debate between him and Harrington amongst those that matter (i.e. not me).

 

Albeit Harrington's achievements are remarkable and inevitably fresh in the mind, before Woods' knee/shin became the hot topic he went out and cleaned up for the first half of the season and the talk was of a potential clean sweep for the season/grand slam etc. Pretty heady stuff, but honestly not pie in the sky given the measure of the man and his form. Without injury, Woods would no doubt have racked up another season of umpteen victories.

 

Two majors in the space of a month is incredible; but one major and several months of total dominance is also pretty notable stuff.

 

I vote Harrington myself, but by a narrow margin. Perry gets an honorable mention but is in a very distant third place.

[scotchblade]

They (the media) seem to believe Paddy wouldn't have had a chance if Tiger had been healthy for both majors Paddy won.

That kind of BS and headlines like "Ryder Cup: Can the US Win Without Tiger?" (this month's Golf Magazine) annoy the heck out of me. I don't miss him, I really don't.

[hksaikung]

+1 for Paddy.

 

 

[sweeet]

I think so, he deserves it...

[alcap26]

Kenny who???? Paddy deserves POY as of this moment. His 2 majors trump whatever Perry has done.

[KTS1010]

He would have my vote that is for sure, just never would think he would win two majors in a row. Good Job to him!

[cb_golfer]

Paddy is just a notch above Tiger so yes.

[feetup]

Another vote for Paddy, well done and deserved.

 

Nice to see the high level of talent that lurks within the shadow of the woods :black eye:

[S70B]

Its Paddy's year over Kenny Milwaukeeoverbritishopen anytime. Tiger can try and win Comeback Player of The Year next season. :black eye:

[indianshaft]

I think he needs another victory on tour to win, If not I give it to Tiger guy only played two majors and one won and has three other wins, while Harrington I am guessing played four and won two. I think the real debate is do we now have a new number 2 player in the world?

[*sigh*]

He should definitely win it this year. His performances have been absolutely great.

 

Who cares what tiger did.. he still only played in 6 events...

 

I don't care what he did in those 6 events, yes its great.. but hes still human.. there is no guarantee he would have kept that up the rest of the year.

 

As for paddy winning without tiger in the field.. he won The Open last year with tiger in the field.. who says he wouldn't have it again.

 

These writers need to grow up and get over their love for tiger.. he is still human. He's not some god who wins everything in a land slide..

disagree, because that would be disrespecting Paddy in my view. It's not paddy's fault or hell even Tiger fault he's injured. The season does not end on Eldricks injury.. BS.. Paddy is POY and yes maybe #2 too. I'm sure he's either 3/4 when the new ratings come out.
