Unsurprisingly, Rory McIlroy triumphed in the Player of the Year category, beating off the likes of Martin Kaymer and Jimmy Walker.

McIlroy, Schwartzel and Sorenstam took time out of their busy schedules to thank Foremost professionals and readers of Golf Monthly for their respective Foremost Golf Monthly Awards.
