The Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA) has announced that Adam Scott was voted the Male Player of the Year, as reported by the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com). Scott’s four world-wide victories, including the 2013 Masters, earned him the award over Tiger Woods by just five votes.

Kenny Perry was named Senior Player of the Year by the GWAA. He won two majors, the Senior Players Championship in June and the U.S. Senior Open in July, on the Champions Tour in 2013.
