Brad Faxon received the 2005 Payne Stewart Award at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta on Wednesday. The East Lake Golf Club will host this week's TOUR Championship.
PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem, ``It is an honor to present the 2005 Payne Stewart Award to Brad Faxon. Throughout his career Brad has distinguished himself both on and off the course as one the PGA TOUR's most respected players.
"Certainly his career accomplishments speak for themselves, but Brad Faxon's lasting impact has come through his charitable work. Brad has taken the TOUR's philosophy of Giving Back and expanded it to a level that has become well known throughout the golf community and beyond. As a family man, a golfer and through his work with the CVS Charity Classic, Brad Faxon embodies everything the Payne Stewart Award represents."
The CVC Charity Classic has raised nearly $6.5 million for charity since its inception seven years ago.

Adam Scott is regarded as the most exciting young Australian golfer since Greg Norman. At the age of 23 years, eight months and 12 days, he became the youngest winner of The Players Championship on the US PGA Tour, an event considered by many to be the game's fifth Major.
Scott is a four-time winner on the US PGA Tour. His initial breakthrough came at the 2003 Deutsche Bank Championship after a second round 62 set up a four stroke win and saw Adam break into the top 20 in the World Rankings for the first time.
