Mizuno Brand Ambassador Luke Donald Named 2011 PGA Tour Player of the Year

Mizuno PGA Tour Staffer Luke Donald was announced as the 2011 PGA Tour
Player of the Year by PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem following a vote
by PGA Tour players.  Donald earned the honor by capturing the PGA Tour
money list title on the strength of two PGA Tour victories and a
Tour-leading 14 top-10 finishes.  This prestigious honor caps off a
spectacular season for the number-one player in the world. 

Donald's wins at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play
Championship and the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic helped
solidify his PGA Tour Player of the Year title.  His come-from-behind
victory at Disney concluded his finest year on the PGA Tour by earning
$6.68 million and his first ever PGA Tour money title.  Donald was also
the PGA Tour's leader in adjusted scoring average at 68.86, earning him
both the Vardon Trophy and Byron Nelson Award.  Donald led the PGA Tour
with 14 top-10 finishes in 19 events. 

For the 28th consecutive week Donald sits atop the World Golf Rankings,
which apart from Tiger Woods run at number one from 2005 to 2010, is the
longest stretch since Greg Norman's 96 weeks from 1995 to 1997.  Utilizing
his high performance Grain Flow Forged MP irons, MP T-11 wedges, and
Mizuno CLK Fli-Hi, Donald made history this week as the first player to
win both the PGA Tour and European Tour money lists in the same year, as
he finished third at the Dubai World Championships.
