Xander Schauffele will be eager to register his maiden victory of the ongoing 2024 PGA Tour season by clinching the
Valspar Championship title.
What to know about Schauffele
The American star has won 10 professional tournaments and his best major finish is tied second at both the 2018 Open Championship and the 2019 Masters.
Schauffele, who has seven wins in the PGA Tour, won the Olympic gold medal at the men's individual golf event of the 2020 Summer Olympics.
Latest news
The 2017/18 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year came close to winning the recent 2024 Players Championship where he finished second.
Schauffele is placed fifth on the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) ahead of the Valspar Championship and his best overall ranking is fourth.
Why Schauffele is among the favourites
The former San Diego State University student played some of his best golf at the 2024 Players Championship, but world number one Scottie Scheffler outclassed him.
Schauffele, who is the highest-ranked player on the OWGR among those set to compete in the 2024 Valspar Championship, is a clear favourite to win this weekend's event.
Quotes
“I’ll probably join them in [drinking] the Haterade at this moment,” Schauffele said when asked about his detractors after the 2024 Players Championship.
“But it is what it is. These suck. When I went to bed last night, it’s not exactly how I envisioned walking off the 18th green.
"I’ll lick my wounds and right back to it next week.”
