Are there any criteria given to the voters before they vote for these awards? Or is it based on their interpretation of the award's name?
Performance of the year?
Or
Moment of the year?
Or are these too goofy?
The desire for a breakout player award just sounds like an excuse to pick Rebecca Cox and Gavin Babcock for the award even though they're not the most improved. Joey and Anniken both did basically the same things over the same time frame that those two did, but they also won on tour, and did it their first time really being on tour. Gavin and Rebecca have been around for full seasons before this year, and still haven't found a W. Joey and Anniken stepped in and did it first try. You're knocking their "improvement" on the fact that you hadn't seen them play before and the first impression was too good. If they're not eligible for rookie of the year, then they should be top of the list for most improved.
KT was also injured with a rib injury
For tournament of the year I would like to see it broke up to each region Midwest, South, West, East, and Europe. That way you can recognize a tournament from each.
