PGA Tour analysis: Xander Schauffele is now in the conversation with Scottie Scheffler for best year in golf Back to video

The FedEx Cup is as meaningful as ever, a three-tournament stretch in August that could go a long way toward deciding who gets the players’ vote for PGA Tour player of the year.

Schauffele or Masters champion Scottie Scheffler?

Schauffele is only the ninth player in the last 40 years to win two majors in the same year (Tiger Woods did it four times), having won a thriller at Valhalla to claim the PGA Championship in May.

Since the Jack Nicklaus Award began in 1990, only one of those players was not voted player of the year. That was Nick Faldo, and there was a reason — he wasn’t a PGA Tour member, playing only seven tour-sanctioned events that year.

But do two majors — Schauffele’s only two wins this year — trump the astonishing season that Scheffler has produced?

It’s easy to look at Sunday at Royal Troon when Schauffele played what he called “the best round of my life.” In a wind that made the rough look thicker, the pot bunkers deeper and the gorse bushes even more prickly, Schauffele played bogey-free for a 65 in which he missed only two greens, none on the back nine.

The lasting images of Scheffler? Turning a 6-foot par putt into a three-putt double bogey on the ninth hole that effectively knocked him from contention, and then topping a tee shot on 18 that was swallowed up by thick grass just 176 yards off the tee.

But that would be to forget what Scheffler has done this year, not just last week.

He won the Masters from ahead and The Players Championship from behind, coming back from a neck injury that nearly caused him to withdraw on Friday and erasing a five-shot deficit on Sunday.

His other four victories were all at signature events, with the $20 million purses and the strongest fields — Bay Hill and Harbour Town, the Memorial and the Travelers.

The six wins are the most in a season since Tom Watson in 1980, and the most before the calendar turned to July since Arnold Palmer in 1962. That’s not easily overlooked, particularly since Scheffler has had only two finishes out of the top 10 — a tie for 17th at The American Express in the California desert and a tie for 41st in the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2.

But it’s 2-1 in the majors, and Schauffele has history on his side with players historically leaning toward the majors.

Some years it was an easy choice, whether it was Nick Price in 1994 or Rory McIlroy in 2014.

Players in 1998 preferred Mark O’Meara winning the Masters and British Open over David Duval winning a tournament in each season _ winter, spring, summer and fall — along with the money list when the PGA Tour used to hand out an award for that.

They chose Padraig Harrington in 2008 over Vijay Singh, who won a World Golf Championship, two playoff events and the FedEx Cup.

There is also history on Scheffler’s side. He was chosen last year over Jon Rahm, the Masters champion who had four wins to only two by Scheffler. The difference was Scheffler being so statistically powerful that he won the Vardon Trophy for the lowest scoring average. It took him until July to have a result worse than 12th.

Schauffele was the only player to finish in the top 10 in all four majors. Scheffler had three top 10s in the four biggest events, and the PGA Championship probably should have an asterisk because of the week was marked by Scheffler getting arrested and booked into jail.

Scheffler is virtually assured of becoming the first player since Woods in 2009 to start the year at No. 1 in the world and stay there until the end of December.

Schauffele isn’t getting enough credit for making the cut in 52 consecutive PGA Tour events. He is assured of getting to 55 through the end of the season, sixth on the all-time list (and just over one-third of the way to Woods’ astounding record).

That’s what makes the next month a potential deal-breaker for the players.

Both will be in the Olympics outside Paris next week. A gold medal still doesn’t have the weight of a silver trophy or a green jacket. But it would embellish a big year.

And then come the FedEx Cup playoffs. Scheffler will start the postseason at No. 1, but with points quadrupled, Schauffele could catch him by the season-ending Tour Championship.

As for that finale at East Lake, Schauffele has 25 of 28 rounds under par in the Tour Championship and has never shot worse than 70. Scheffler shot 73 in the third round when tied for the lead, and he lost a six-shot lead with a closing 73 that cost him the FedEx Cup in 2023. He still considers that the loss that burns him the most.

All that is certain now is that both players have had astounding years and separated themselves from the rest of golf.

The bronze of Jack Nicklaus that goes to the winner won’t take precedence over a green jacket for Scheffler, a Wannamaker Trophy and a silver claret jug for Schauffele.

The majors are over. Scheffler still has had a superior year to Schauffele, though this gets the 30-year-old Californian in the conversation. That’s not a bad thing for the PGA Tour.

Tiger Woods provides update on PGA Tour-LIV Golf negotiations at Royal Troon

TROON, Scotland — Tiger Woods provided a glimmer of hope that the world’s best golfers could see each other more than just four times a year.

The 15-time major champion spoke ahead of the Open Championship at Royal Troon and said he is happy with the direction of negotiations between the PGA Tour and the Saudi Public Investment Fund that bankrolls LIV Golf.

“I can tell you we’re making progress,” Woods said. “I can’t tell you more than that just because we’re not going to negotiate on the outside.

“We’ve got to keep everything at a high level and private, but things are moving and things are changing. It’s evolving each and every day. There’s e-mails and chains and texts and ideas that we bounce back and forth from both sides.”

The two side are playing things close to the vest after last summer’s disastrous rollout of a “framework agreement” at the RBC Canadian Open. That startling June 6 announcement blindsided players and brought forth a resentment that PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan is still fighting to put behind him.

“There’s a good interchange of ideas and thoughts of how the game could look like going forward,” Woods said. “It’s just a matter of putting that all together legally. Obviously we have the (U.S. Department of Justice) with oversight looking into that as well and making sure that we don’t do anything improperly there.”

Besides the legal side, there is also the issue of money, which is where the entire mess began. With the tour switching from a non-profit to a for-profit model that gives players equity as well as welcoming investors, the money side of golf is more important than ever.

“Making sure that all the players benefit from this, as well as everyone who’s involved. They want to make money as well. They want to make that return,” Woods said.

The u.s. open is history; now we start trying to figure out what golf's future looks like with pga tour, pif and liv golf, share this article.

LOS ANGELES — What is it about the U.S. Open being a magnet for controversy emerging all around the championship, some on them, most of it out of their control?

Like a year ago, when LIV Golf played its first event prior to the U.S. Open, and all the pre-tournament chatter at the Open was about suspensions and blood money. And this year, the announcement that rocked the golf world came nine days before the first tee shot was launched at the Los Angeles Country Club.

And of course, there was the course itself, drawing criticism from heavy hitters like Brooks Koepka, Victor Hovland and Matthew Fitzpatrick. But then again, the last thing anyone wants to hear is the greatest golfers in the world whining about course conditions.

“There’s just too many holes for me where you’ve got blind tee shots and then you’ve got fairways that don’t hold the ball,” Fitzpatrick, the Jupiter resident, said. “There’s too much slope.”

Fitzpatrick, I’m guessing, is a much bigger fan of The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, where he won last year’s U.S. Open. He was 1 under after three rounds this year, but, apparently, that’s not easy enough.

Complaints about the course are a minor distraction for any tournament. But playing a major championship with uncertainty surrounding the future of golf popping up a week prior takes that distraction to another level.

The main focus at the start of last week was the fallout from the announcement the Tour and Saudi’s Public Investment Fund, which bankrolls LIV Golf, signed an agreement to form a new entity that combines their commercial interests.

At stake now (as the PGA Tour starts to wind down its season and focuses on the final major of the year, the British Open, and playoffs) is how golf will look in 2024 and beyond.

Will some PGA Tour events incorporate LIV’s team concept? Will LIV exist as it has the last year and continue to hold its 54-hole, no-cut events with the blessing of the PGA Tour? Will it be forced to scale back the schedule? What penalties will those golfers who chose the money grab over the PGA Tour suffer as they return to the Tour?

Or will LIV go away completely, the money man behind the league, PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan, content with paying billions just to hold a seat on the PGA Tour board of directors and shape some policy?

And will PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan purchase a one-way ticket back to Australia for his LIV Golf nemesis, Greg Norman?

Norman, for one, was celebrating after the announcement, telling staff they “changed golf” and there will be “no operational changes” through 2025. Keep in mind Norman, the face of LIV Golf, was excluded from the seven weeks of negotiations.

And some of Norman’s highest-paid stars are not giving up hope the checks will keep coming.

“Everything I’ve heard, they’re still working on a full schedule for next year,” Jupiter’s Dustin Johnson told ESPN. “The rest of this year and 2024 is going to be the same as far as I know. After that, you know as much as I do.”

Johnson said Al-Rumayyan told him LIV Golf will exist next year.

Sergio Garcia was asked if he’s proceeded as if it’s business as usual as LIV prepares for its next event starting June 30 at Valderrama in Spain.

“Is there anything else I can do? We don’t know what’s happening,” he said. “As of now we just go ahead the same as we were and whenever this merger and this deal is finalized and all the details are taken care of then we’ll see what happens.”

This second year is crucial to LIV and its captains, who have taken on more responsibility with the Kingdom pulling back when it comes to funding the teams. Each captain has been looking to expand his enterprise this year, finding people to run the business side that includes handling team travel, social media, and apparel, among other things.

Bryson DeChambeau is one of those 12 captains.

“We’re looking to hire someone here shortly for the GM position, and very excited about that,” he said.

That’s the LIV perspective of the agreement. Then there is the PGA Tour side, specifically Jimmy Dunne, the North Palm Beach resident who Monahan credited as the main architect behind the deal.

Dunne, president of Seminole Golf Club in Hobe Sound, told Sports Illustrated Monahan is making all the decisions and could disband LIV, if he prefers.

But the players aren’t so sure. Some, like Jon Rahm, say they felt “betrayed” and have lost faith in management. Others, like Rickie Fowler and Rory McIlroy are giving Monahan some benefit of the doubt with a wait-and-see attitude.

“They’re looking at this as the best long-term option. But we don’t know, yet,” Fowler said. “What’s hard (is) you hear a lot of different things.

“I think we’ll know a lot more definitely in the next six months. And there’s still the talks the deal may not even happen with the DOJ and the government getting involved.”

Another layer that could shape the future of golf. Meanwhile, the 2023 season will go on as scheduled, for the PGA Tour and LIV Golf.

As for 2024? What that will look like is anybody’s guess.
