Historical Significance
Xander Schauffele capped off a remarkable 2024 season by winning his second major championship of the year at Royal Troon, just two months after his PGA Championship breakthrough.
Schauffele became the first player to win two majors in a single season since Brooks Koepka in 2018, and the first to win both the PGA Championship and The Open in the same year since Rory McIlroy in 2014.
His steady, methodical play in challenging Scottish links conditions showcased his versatility and mental toughness. After years of being labeled as someone who couldn't win the big ones, Schauffele answered emphatically with two major victories in one season.
