Jordan Spieth of the United States

Jordan Spieth picked up another award on Friday after being named PGA Tour Player of the Year by his fellow professionals, a statement said.

The world number one received the Jack Nicklaus Trophy after a record-breaking 2015 season which included victories in two Majors.

"The PGA Tour enjoyed a sensational season from every perspective as our young stars shone brighter than ever before, but none brighter than the PGA Tour Player of the Year Jordan Spieth," commissioner Tim Finchem said in a statement.

The PGA Tour's membership also named Daniel Berger as Rookie of the Year in the awards announced Friday.

On Monday, Spieth was named PGA of America Player of the Year and was also handed the prestigious Vardon Trophy.

Spieth, 22, became the second youngest player to win the awards in the same year after Tiger Woods achieved the feat as a 21-year-old in 1997.

On Sunday Spieth took his earnings for 2015 to just over $22 million after carding a one-under-par 69 to claim the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, clinching the $10 million bonus on offer to the winner of the FedEx Cup.
