Cameron Davis claimed his second PGA Tour win in Detroit in July while world No.20 Adam Scott, two-time Medal winners Jason Day (world No.31) and Cameron Smith and three-time winner Minjee Lee all had solid but title-free seasons.
The West Australian’s triple LPGA treat meant she was an obvious choice to collect the top honour at the PGA Awards in Brisbane on Tuesday night.
“It has undoubtedly been one of the best years of my career and to cap it with a second Greg Norman Medal makes it all the more special,” Green said from Florida ahead of the season-ending LPGA event this week.
“Any year in which you have a win is a good year so to have three in the one season is very satisfying – and I’d love to finish off with another one at the Australian Open next week.
“I would like to thank everyone in my team, my husband Jarryd, my family and friends for their support this year.
“I feel like I have taken a major step forward in 2024 and hope that I can finish off the year well and take that into 2025 and beyond.”
Green, who won her first medal in 2019, rose to a career-high world No.5 and was the first Australian since Karrie Webb in 2006 to notch three wins in a single LPGA season.
Coach Ritchie Smith was in Brisbane to accept the award on her behalf, Smith also claiming the PGA national coach-of-the-year gong.
