==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*[[Kai Budde]] and [[Yuuya Watanabe]] are the only players to win [[Magic World Championships|Worlds]]/Player Championship, and Player of the Year in the same year.
*[[Kai Budde]] is the player who has won the most Player of the Year titles, with four.
**Through, Watanabe's record is a bit different case to Budde's, As 2012 season (that he won both awards) is the only year that Player of the Year is ''not'' decided by Pro Tour points, but the results of the Player Championship (Which means the winner will be the Player of the Year) due to event structure change.  
**The only other player to have won the title more than once is [[Yuuya Watanabe]].
*No player won [[Rookie of the Year]] and Player of the Year in the same year.
*[[Kai Budde]] and [[Yuuya Watanabe]] are also the only players to have won [[Magic World Championships|Worlds]]/Player Championship and Player of the Year in the same year.
*In 2010, [[Brad Nelson]] and [[Guillaume Matignon]] tied in the Player of the Year race, forcing a playoff at the next Pro Tour, where Brad Nelson won.
**Watanabe's record is a bit different from that of Budde's. The 2012 season was the only year during which the Player of the Year was ''not'' decided by Pro Points; instead, the winner of the 2012 Players Championship was considered the Player of the Year. However, Yuuya was also the one with the most Pro Points for the 2011–12 season,<ref>{{cite web|title=2011-2012 PLAYER OF THE YEAR STANDINGS|url=http://magic.wizards.com/en/protour/standings/poy201112|publisher=Wizards of the Coast|accessdate=2015-09-24}}</ref> so he would have been the 2012 Player of the Year even with the old system.
