NOMINEE	THE SKINNY
	Overrated	Tom Lehman	Big-boned Minnesotan was everybody's All-American after winning the 1996 season-ending Tour Championship. Alas, he hasn't won on the PGA Tour since.
	Underrated	Billy Mayfair	Looks twice his age -- and watching him slice his putts is enough to give a guy the yips -- but enhanced his rep as a killer closer by slaying Tiger Woods in a playoff in L.A. and winning again at the Buick Open in Michigan.
	Annoying	Scott Hoch (Lifetime Achievement Award)	Has dissed everything from the Old Course to the Ryder Cup to his negative press. Hey, Scott, we only call 'em as we see'em.
	Breakthrough	Mark O'Meara	Formerly best-known as Tiger's fave fishing buddy, reeled in two majors and very nearly a third. An inspiration to every chrome-domed 41-year-old.
	Uplifting	Se Ri Pak	Spectacular rookie year served as a long-overdue antidote for the LPGA's chronic pizzazz deficiency.
	MVP	Tim Finchem	PGA Tour commissioner has nimbly negotiated golf's ascent into the big-time, and is positioned as a key moderator in the potentially bitter fight between technology and tradition.
	Storyline to Follow in 1999	The "new" PGA Tour	Twice the money, glitzy new international events, more TV, and, we hope, none of the corresponding 'tude.
