Payne Stewart Award
The Payne Stewart Award is an award given by the PGA Tour and presented by Southern Company[1] since the award's inception in 2000. The award, given annually the week of The Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club, is in honor of World Golf Hall of Famer Payne Stewart. 2014 marks the 15th anniversary of the Payne Stewart Award.
The Payne Stewart Award is given to a player whose "values align with the character, charity and sportsmanship that Stewart showed". This includes respect for the traditions of the game, commitment to uphold the game's heritage of charitable support and professional and meticulous presentation of himself and the sport through his dress and conduct.
