Golf 2025 Player Prediction: Xander Schauffele
There was a good balance of surprise wins, dominant performances, heartbreaks, and life-changing moments in the professional golf world in 2024. We had players go on historic runs, players reach new highs, and players reach new lows. These professional golfers gave the fans a little bit of everything in 2024, so what can we expect from them in 2025? Who will win the 2025 Majors? Will someone dominate the year? Whose game will fall off? Here is the 2025 Player Prediction for Xander Schauffele.
Official World Golf Ranking: Two
Wins: Two - PGA Championship, The Open Championship
Major Wins: Two - PGA Championship, The Open Championship
2024 Summary
Schauffele had a career-changing 2024 season. While he had no wins on tour, he finally got the major win monkey off his back by winning not just one but two majors this year. He was able to finally break through with his first major win at the PGA Championship and doubled up on that at The Open Championship a couple of months later. Schauffele ranked first in putting, first in scrambling, second in shots gained total, and second in strokes gained tee-to-green. He is currently ranked second in the official world golf rankings.
2025 Prediction
Schauffele was as consistent as you could be, week in and week out. He’s consistently put himself in contention his whole career, especially in big tournaments, and now that the pressure of winning your first major is off, Schauffele can play the big events pressure-free. He’s as good as it gets in ball striking and might be even better when it comes to putting, and there’s no reason that play won’t continue in 2025. My prediction for Xander Schauffele’s 2025 is three-plus total wins, wins one major, potentially the Masters, and ends the year ranked as a top three player in the official world golf rankings.
