He followed up in October with victory over Ireland's Paul McGinley in the
World Match Play at Wentworth to win a 1 million pound jackpot.
Campbell, 36, also finished runner-up to Briton Colin Montomerie in the
Tour's Order of Merit and rocketed from 80th in the world to 15th to win the
media and Tour-based panel's vote as player of the year.
"I have great memories of winning my first Major in the U.S. Open at
Pinehurst No.2 and capturing the HSBC World Match Play Championship at
Wentworth," said Campbell.
"Those were satisfying accomplishments and this award provides the perfect
end to the perfect year for both myself and my family."
George O'Grady, the Tour's executive director, added: "There were many
highlights during a superb season, and Michael's victory in the U.S. Open
captured the imagination of golf observers the world over."
