MLS Golden Boot
The MLS Golden Boot (currently the Audi Golden Boot for sponsorship reasons) has been awarded since the 2005 season to Major League Soccer's regular–season leading scorer. The award replaced the MLS Scoring Champion Award that was awarded since the league's inception in 1996.
1996–2004
Prior to 2005 MLS used a point system that awarded two points for a goal and one point for an assist to give the MLS Scoring Champion Award.
