Xander Schauffele Tops Scoring Average at Last Four Majors

Xander Schauffele has demonstrated remarkable consistency in recent Major championships, holding the lowest scoring average among top players over the last four Majors, including his breakthrough win at the 2024 PGA Championship. Despite winning two majors in 2024 and entering the 2025 PGA Championship as defending champion at Quail Hollow, Schauffele has been somewhat under the radar due to a rib injury that sidelined him for part of the season, affecting his early 2025 form. Analysts and insiders emphasize Schauffele's calm and strategic mindset, highlighted during his 2024 PGA Championship victory, where his in-tournament adjustments and composure under pressure were key to his success. Meanwhile, the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow features strong contenders like Rory McIlroy, who is coming off a Masters win and is considered a top challenger, and Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1 known for his all-around game. Schauffele’s ability to perform on difficult courses and under pressure positions him as a serious threat to repeat, even as other elite players gain momentum. The tournament is expected to be highly competitive, with key factors including driving accuracy, greens in regulation, and putting playing critical roles at this challenging venue.
