Xander Schauffele Has Eight Big Wins and No Trophies to Show for It

Xander Schauffele, the 31-year-old American golfer, entered the 2025 British Open as the defending champion at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland on July 15.
Schauffele's recent form reflects a 2024 setback from a rib injury that limited his appearances, ending momentum after a 'perfect storm' brought two major wins last summer including the British Open and PGA Championship.
He has accumulated eight PGA Tour victories, two of which are majors, plus the 2021 Olympic gold medal, and credits his experience for helping position himself well in tournaments, a strategy he has successfully employed twice.
At a sponsor event in Portrush's Harbour Bar, Schauffele described winning as fleeting and called his prior major-winning period a humbling 'perfect storm,' while emphasizing the advantage of entering weekends in strong positions.
The British Open field includes 48 Americans and 37 debutants, with Padraig Harrington opening play, while the PGA Tour faces scheduling shifts including Doral potentially returning since leaving for Mexico in 2017 amid competition from LIV Golf.
