Photo of the Year presented by Maui Jim returns for our review of 2022 and some of the best photos captured from our events around the world.
10 - Champion's Golden Hour
---------------------------
As the sun sets, Thomas Pieters looks up at the famous falcon trophy after winning the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. It was a beautiful evening and it gave us photographers a chance to play with the lovely sunset colours and unmistakable trophy.

9 - Hand of God
---------------
Tiger Woods places his ball on a tee during the JP McManus Pro-Am at Adare Manor, Co Limerick, Ireland. I had followed Tiger for a few holes trying to get this shot right, but his hand or his name on the ball never lined up. On my last attempt both his hand and name landed in the right spot.

8 - Shot of the Year
--------------------
Starting out three groups ahead of the leader, Guido Migliozzi of Italy shot a final round 62 for a four-round total of -16. This treacherous shot into the island green at Le Golf National in Paris set up a birdie chance, only one of two on the day which resulted in a one shot victory.

7 - Poland's Prince
-------------------
It was great to witness Adrian win his first DP World Tour title at Mount Juliet in Kilkenny. I have been following Adrian's journey for a few years now and knew it was only a matter of time before he got his first win, and I was delighted to be there to witness it in person. The first player from Poland to win on Tour.

6 - People's Champion
---------------------
Tommy Fleetwood celebrates with tournament staff as he clinches another Nedbank Golf Challenge title at Gary Player CC in Sun City. Held aloft by the ground staff as they sang and whistled while parading him on their shoulders, Tommy will always be the peoples champion.

5 - Danish Skyline
------------------
Daan Huizing poses next to his wife and caddie, Daniella, as he waits to hit his approach shot on the 17th hole at the Made in HimmerLand in Denmark. Clouded skies sat above him revealing a beautiful silhouette on the fairway.

4 - Sand Storm
--------------
The sand forms some interesting shapes as Pádraig Harrington plays a bunker shot on the 18th hole at Ras Al Khaimah. I made sure to shuffle a good few metres to my left to make sure I would still be able to see Pádraig’s face, full of concentration.

3 - Final Approach
------------------
Jon Rahm hits his approach shot into the 18th on the Sunday of the DP World Tour Championship, en route to winning the event. Jon’s second shot went slightly left into the trees, which made for a dramatic approach shot surrounded by fans.

2 - Thank You St Andrews
------------------------
Tiger Woods makes his way over the Swilcan Bridge and down the 18th fairway for what may well be the last time in an Open Championship at St Andrews. It was an emotional moment for Tiger and the thousands of golf fans that had filled the grandstands and lined the fairways.

1 - Shane Silhouette
--------------------
Shane Lowry reacts after hitting a shot in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. Shane is so expressive and, even in silhouette, his body language leaves you in no doubt that he wasn’t best pleased with the shot - haha! Amusingly, Shane still has it at his Instagram profile picture….
