2024 PGA Championship: Ending the Drought
After years of near-misses in major championships, Xander Schauffele's first major win was emphatic. At Valhalla Golf Club, he posted a final score of -21, setting a PGA Championship scoring record, and won by one shot in a gripping final round. His consistency through four rounds of pristine ball-striking and timely putting confirmed that his talent had finally been matched with timing.
The win silenced critics who wondered if Schauffele could win under the ultimate pressure. His reputation for major near-misses had become a storyline — but at Valhalla in 2024, he put it to rest emphatically.
2024 Open Championship: Links Mastery at Royal Troon
Just weeks after winning the PGA Championship, Schauffele added a second major at Royal Troon. Winning The Open Championship at -9 in the demanding links conditions of the Ayrshire coast confirmed his status as one of the most complete players in the world.
Winning two different major championships in the same calendar year places Schauffele in elite company — only the very best players have accomplished it. His ability to win both a parkland-style PGA Championship and a links-style Open Championship in the same season demonstrated remarkable all-around game.
The Olympic Gold Champion
Schauffele also won the Olympic gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, making him one of the few players to win two majors and Olympic gold in the same calendar year. While the Olympics is not an official major championship, the achievement adds to his remarkable 2024 resume.
