The fact that anyone could even question whether Tiger Woods should be named the 2013 PGA Tour Player of the Year is simply baffling.

Earlier this week, the PGA Tour announced the five nominees for the 2013 PGA Tour Player of the Year award. They are:

Tiger Woods (Five wins) Match Kuchar (Two wins) Phil Mickelson (Two wins including the Open Championship) Adam Scott (Two wins including the Masters) Henrik Stenson (Two wins and the FedEx Cup title) Kuchar and Stenson are on this list for no reason other than the PGA Tour needed to fill out its ballot with five names.

Woods won the money title as well as the Vardon Trophy for the tour's lowest adjusted scoring average and has already been named the 2013 PGA of America Player of the Year.   

In the 16 events Woods played during the 2013 season, he had 10 top-10 finishes and five wins, which is a mind-blowing 31.25 winning percentage.  

Since 1980, only two players not named Woods have won five or more PGA Tour events during a single season—Nick Price (1994) and Vijay Singh (2004)­—and 2013 was the 10th time Woods has accomplished this feat since turning pro in 1996. (Ernie Els has had multiple seasons where he has won five or more times worldwide, but he has never won five or more events on the PGA Tour during a single season.)
