"On behalf of the PGA Tour, my congratulations go to Dustin Johnson for his outstanding play on big stages during the 2015-16 season," Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said.
"His hard work on the golf course and in the gym paid off with the finest season of his career, and the member vote reflects the respect his peers have for him."
The award is decided by a vote of Tour members who have played in 15 or more official events, and last year's winner was Jordan Spieth.
