The final men’s major championship of the 2024 season has come to an end and Xander Schauffele is the Champion Golfer of the Year! Schauffele took care of the elements at Royal Troon Golf Club all weekend and claimed his second career major championship title with a two shot victory over Justin Rose and Billy Horschel at the 2024 Open Championship. The victory was also his second major victory in his last three major starts. Below are some thoughts I have following the completion of the 152nd playing of The Open Championship at Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland!

Many fans in golf felt that if Xander Schauffele could just break through in one major he’d potentially open the floodgates. That proved to be true this weekend as he backed up his PGA Championship at Valhalla in May with a Claret Jug victory just two majors later. While most of the leaders struggled in the extremely challenging conditions on Saturday, Schauffele fired a 2-under par 69. He would then follow that by firing a bogey free 65 on Sunday to win the tournament. The display of golf shown by Schauffele this past weekend was terrific. With his consistent play and now his two major titles, he’s truly solidified himself as one of the best golfers we’ve seen in the last 15 years.
