Xander Schauffele secures first major in 2024 PGA Championship win
Xander Schauffele is one of the best golfers in the world, but had one thing missing in his resume. The No. 3 player in the world was without a major championship title at age 30. In his 28th career major championship start, Schauffele finally secured a green box on his Wikipedia page.
The Wanamaker Trophy belongs to the Southern California native.

Xander Schauffele went wire to wire shooting 62-68-68-65 to record a major championship record 21-under par at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. However, a birdie putt was needed at 18 on Sunday evening to give Schauffele a one-shot victory over Bryson DeChambeau after the 2020 U.S. Open champion fired a bogey-free 64 in round four.
Viktor Hovland was also in contention, but needed a birdie on 18 to get to 20-under to force a potential playoff with Xander Schauffele. That did not come as the No. 7 player in the world three-putted to finish the tournament at 18-under. Thomas Detry (-15) and Collin Morikawa (-15) rounded out the top five at Valhalla.
