events in the inaugural Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs, produced
one of the year’s most exciting finishes, with Scott McCarron
defeating Tom Byrum in a playoff to earn his second victory of
the 2016 season. “It is a great honor to be voted by the PGA
TOUR Champions professionals to receive the Players Award,”
