Xander Schauffele hasn't changed much from last year.
Johnny Wunder/GOLF
Xander Schauffele was at the top of his game last year when he won two major championships, but this was especially the case at the 2024 PGA Championship, where he set the all-time major scoring record.
So it shouldn’t be a surprise that Schauffele hasn’t changed much in his bag as he gets set to defend his first major title.
Due to an early season injury, Schauffele has played just seven times so far this season and has recorded just one top 10, although that was a T8 at the Masters, and he finished T11 at last week’s Truist Championship.
After an early season switch to the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond, Schauffele has reverted back to the Paradym Ai-Smoke he used last year.
