Graeme McDowell and Martin Kaymer have been voted joint winners of the 2010 European Tour Golfer of the Year award, the first time the prize has been shared in its 26 year history.
McDowell and Kaymer both won their first major titles during the 2010 season, with McDowell winning at the US Open and Kaymer at the US PGA. The pair also both won four times during the season, and were members of the victorious European Ryder Cup side.
McDowell, who on Sunday beat Tiger Woods in a play-off for the 'World Challenge title', commented; "I am truly humbled to accept this coveted award",
"It is the icing on the cake on what has been a very special year for myself, Martin and everyone involved in European golf".
Kaymer, who also this year topped the coveted 'Race to Dubai' money list said; "This has been a truly great year for me and winning this award is the perfect ending",
"I am always trying to follow in Bernhard Langer's footsteps and to see that I have now won an award that he was the first to win back in 1985 is very satisfying indeed".
