Xander Schauffele’s Open Championship Win Sparks Major Golf Debate

Xander Schauffele is officially the 2024 Champion Golfer of the Year, winning the 152nd Open Championship on Sunday after posting a masterful final-round 65.

Schauffele, who entered the year still searching for his first major title, now has two major championships to his name having also won May's PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club.

In any other year, winning two majors - and finishing eighth and T7 in the two others - would likely earn Schauffele PGA Player of the Year honors. With that said, another golfer - world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler - also made a compelling case in 2024 with six victories, including his second Masters title.

Fans appear split over which golfer deserves to be named PGA Player of the Year.

Schauffele has won just twice in 2024, however, both victories came at majors - a feat last accomplished by Brooks Koepka in 2018.

Scheffler, meanwhile, has tallied six victories this year and recently became the first player to win six times before July since 1962.
