Xander Schauffele’s victory at the PGA Championship not only earned him a major title, but he also received a precious message of congratulations from golf legend Tiger Woods. After winning at Valhalla, Schauffele led from start to finish, narrowly defeating Bryson DeChambeau by one stroke and sinking a six-foot birdie on the final hole that will forever live in his memory.
After a string of misses, the Ryder Cup hero finally shed the “almost human” tag, showcasing his prodigious talent and securing his place among golf’s greats. With overcoming this big hurdle, Shaaufele is now tilting to further expand the trophy cabinet over the next few years.

But it is a personal nod from the forest, which really emphasizes his achievements. “You know, he sent me a message and I think he’s right. He went through all of this himself,” an excited Schaufel told SubPar. .
“But he sent me an email saying, ‘Every time you were around, I think that made you tough for this moment.’ And I’m proud of you. That’s unbelievable. I’m very proud of you.” This is an incredible message I received from TW.”
Although he was once grappling with the title of golf’s greatest player due to his 11 top-10 finishes without winning a major, Schauffel’s composure during the decisive putt on the 72nd hole is a testament to his mental strength and ability to work under pressure.
“There are so many things going through your head: ‘If you do this you will win, if you do this you will change your life, this is what you’ve wanted your whole life.’ I thought a lot while doing the routine, and the more I do it, the more I think.

After his victory at Valhalla, Schauffele admitted that his desire for further success was further heightened by his latest victory. In fact, the golfer is now among the favorites to win both the U.S. Open and the British Open, which will be held at Pinehurst No. 2 and Royal Troon later this summer. “I’m more motivated, but that doesn’t mean I’m less motivated,” Schauffele admitted after Sunday’s win. “It’s like a drug, you just want that feeling to last. I’m lucky. I think my favorite feeling in golf is chasing the result regardless of the result.
