The famous pro became the recipient of the 2023 Seve Ballesteros Award and wrote himself in the history books as he was the first Polish player to receive the honor. The 30-year-old’s win was perfectly reasonable considering the blockbuster year he has had.

The DPWT members’ choice for the Player of the Year won a total of three events in 2023 on the European Tour. He also secured a career-high fourth finish on the Race to Dubai Rankings in the previous season. This led him to achieve the highest number of votes, equating to a total of 38% by the members, leaving behind big names like Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland, and Nicolai Højgaard.

I, Daiemah Malik, have loved writing for as long as I can remember. It started with practicing poetry in front of the mirror, eventually translating into my passion for writing at EssentiallySports.
