PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Jordan Spieth has been voted PGA Tour player of the year, giving him a sweep of all the significant awards.

The PGA Tour does not disclose how many votes Spieth received from the players, though the 22-year-old Texan removed any suspense last week with his four-shot victory in the Tour Championship to win the Fed Ex Cup.

Spieth had five wins this year, including the Masters and U.S. Open. He is the youngest player since Tiger Woods (21) to win the Jack Nicklaus Award as player of the year. Spieth also won the Arnold Palmer Award by topping the money list with a record $12 million, and the Vardon Trophy for the lowest adjusted scoring average.

Also Friday, Daniel Berger was voted rookie of the year. He was the only rookie to qualify for the Tour Championship.
