Xander Schauffele won three tournaments, including two major championships in 2024. Yet it wasn’t enough to keep pace with World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who dominated the season with nine wins, including his second Masters. With Mr. Scheffler currently sidelined with a wrist injury, Mr. Schauffele can narrow the gap starting this weekend at The Sentry at Maui’s Kapalua Resort in Hawaii.
