The reason Johnson Wagner thinks PGA Tour stars won’t vote for Scottie Scheffler as Player of the Year

Former PGA Tour player Johnson Wagner has suggested that Scottie Scheffler is unlikely to win the 2026 PGA Tour Player of the Year award, despite the world number one having claimed the honour in each of the last four years. Scheffler, 30, has had a difficult 2026 season, winning only The American Express in January and finishing runner-up five times. Wagner, speaking on CBS Sports, believes voters will be tempted to choose a different winner given that players like Chris Gotterup, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Cameron Young, and Wyndham Clark have all recorded multiple victories this season.
