Xander Schauffele to Team Up with Scottie Scheffler in PGA Tour Playoffs After Olympic Disappointment

Posted : 14 August 2024

Xander Schauffele is set to put his Paris Olympics disappointment behind him as he partners with gold medalist Scottie Scheffler for the first two rounds of the PGA Tour playoffs. Schauffele, currently ranked World No 2 and the Tokyo Olympics champion, will join Scheffler, who secured his Olympic gold with a strong final day performance in Paris. They will compete together at the PGA St. Jude Championship held at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee.

 

Schauffele's recent Olympic experience was marked by a letdown after he initially led the tournament in pursuit of a gold medal repeat. Despite sharing the lead after the second and third rounds, he struggled with a final-round 73, finishing seven strokes behind Scheffler. Reflecting on the experience, Schauffele admitted feeling disheartened as his hopes for gold diminished, eventually leaving him merely observing the final moments of the competition.

 

In an effort to avoid a repeat of his Olympic performance, Schauffele has been analyzing the reasons behind his final-round struggles. He noted that some old habits resurfaced under pressure and has been working to correct them. Schauffele acknowledged the emotional complexity of watching Scheffler's tearful podium moment, initially feeling frustrated but eventually finding solace in the shared Olympic spirit.

 

As Schauffele heads into the PGA Tour playoffs, he is focused on maintaining a sharp mental state throughout the three-week post-season run. With the season points race positioning him second to Scheffler, Schauffele understands the importance of rigorous preparation and resilience. He is committed to performing at his best, emphasizing the need to stay in top physical and mental shape and to push through the challenges of the playoffs.
