Comeback Player candidate snubs

Not many will complain about Steve Stricker being voted PGA TOUR Comeback Player of the Year because of his class, although consecutive years winning the award left casual fans confused. The Players Advisory Council was responsible for submitting the ballot, and it could be charged with falling asleep at the wheel. Except for a comeback from injury, the award might as well be called "Most Improved Player." And if that's the case, there were plenty of worthy candidates who were ignored. Paul Goydos only kept his PGA TOUR card with a tie for second in the final tournament of 2006. In his next start, he won the Sony Open in January for his first victory in nearly 11 years. It had been so long since Goydos won that Tiger Woods was still an amateur. Another candidate might have been Mark Calcavecchia.

Tiger is not just the come back player of the year, he is THE player and number one in the world. But as far as most improved or come back, I watched Calcaveccia play well, and give him the nod.
