 The 25-year-old Northern Irishman landed the British Open title
in July and the U.S. PGA Championship crown in August -- the third
and fourth majors of his career -- before winning three points as
Europe retained the Ryder Cup in September.
"To be named the European Tour's Golfer of the Year for a second
time is a huge honor and one I am extremely proud of," said McIlroy
who also won this season's BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth and the
WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio.
"If I had won any one of those four titles it would have been a good
year but to win all four... and to be part of another fantastic
European victory in the Ryder Cup means it is a great one," he added
in a news release.
