Byron Nelson Award

 There are four golf awards that have been presented in the last a few days.

A Nelson Award candidate must be a graduating senior and the selection committee considers equally a nominee's entire collegiate academic and golf career and his character and integrity while in college. Particular consideration will be given to a nominee's good citizenship, as portrayed by legendary golfer Byron Nelson.

The PGA Tour presents this award annually to the player with the lowest adjusted scoring average for the year. It has a 50-round minimum, and was instituted in 1980. For yesterday’s Vardon Trophy Award and today’s Byron Nelson Award, non-medal rounds count towards the minimum number of rounds but are not included in the calculation of the scoring average.

There have been Four men who have won the Byron Nelson Award more than once:

Tiger Woods has 9 wins;

Greg Norman has 5 wins;

Fred Couples and Tom Kite both have 2 wins.
