Who won the 2009 male player of the year award?

Question

It was that man Tiger Woods, as voted for by the Golf Writers Association of America. It's actually the 10th time Woods has collected the award in his 13 years playing as a pro - which you have to say is a remarkable achievement for the 33-year-old. Most of the ballots were returned after the scandal about Woods' unravelling personal life had already emerged, too.
