It's true that Schauffele doesn't win as much as his contemporaries, but perhaps that's about to change
What to make of Xander Schauffele? It's been one of the questions in and around golf -- specifically on the PGA Tour -- over the last three years, and it's often been a query that has had no great answers.
Schauffele is an impressive talent who doesn't win very often compared to his peers. What do you do with that? How do you think about that?
He's been ranked inside the top 15 in the Official World Golf Rankings every week since he won the WGC-HSBC Champions late in October 2018 since breaking into that top 15 in the world for good. That's 44 consecutive months as a top 15 player in the world, and until Sunday's victory at the Travelers Championship, he had just one individual PGA Tour victory in that span of time, a come-from-behind win at the January 2019 Tournament of Champions.
