The way Schauffele walked off the course in the closing stages of the British Open on Sunday confirmed he is currently the best player in the world, with a flawless back-nine performance and impeccable putting under pressure.
Schauffele became the first player since Brooks Koepka in 2018 to win two majors in one year, following up his breakthrough victory at the PGA Championship in May with the British Open.
Schauffele's ability to finish in big tournaments has been questioned for years, and this time he joined Jack Nicklaus as the only players to shoot 65 or lower in the final round of a major championship multiple times.
In addition to his wins, Schauffele also put together a historic run of major tournament performances in 2024. With top-10 finishes in all four events while winning two trophies, he joins an exclusive club that has only Woods (twice), Tom Watson (twice), Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Spieth as players to accomplish such a feat.
Not only does Schauffele own those two trophies, he will also go into the 2024 Paris Olympics as the defending gold medalist from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics while holding the record for the longest streak of consecutive cuts (52) since Tiger Woods’ 142 straight.He joins Woods (four times), Brooks Koepka, Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Padraig Harrington as the only players to win multiple majors in the same season since 2000.
This year has been a breakthrough year for Schauffele, but it has also been a turbulent one. With so many great performances in the majors that fell short of a trophy, there has been a perception that perhaps Schauffele is a little too calm, not realizing that great golf requires great emotion. His early-season setbacks at the Players Championship (when he hesitated with a chance to win on the final two holes) and the Wells Fargo Championship (where his one-shot lead evaporated into a seven-shot deficit after nine holes and he finished a distant second to Rory McIlroy) only exacerbated that perception.There were also reports that Schauffele was nearly fired from the U.S. team for asking for pay, and a poor Ryder Cup performance (1-3-0) was made worse. Everyone has their own explanation or excuse. But overall, it reinforces the shame that Schauffele, as good as he is, couldn't have performed better when the spotlight was brightest.
"Sometimes things go your way, and sometimes they don't," Schauffele said of some past stumbles. "But for the most part, all those tough losses in the past, or those moments where I missed early on the back nine and dreamed, I was able to pick myself up today and make sure that didn't happen."
