(Chessington, UK – July 21, 2024) Callaway Staffer Xander Schauffele landed his second major of 2024, by claiming the 152nd Open Championship.
Victory for Xander comes just two months after he won his maiden major title at the PGA Championship. Xander’s win at Royal Troon also marks back-to-back Open victories at the Scottish venue for Callaway Staffers, with the brand also claiming the Claret Jug when the tournament was last held there in 2016.
Xander has gamed his Paradym Ai Smoke Driver and Chrome Tour Golf Ball since the season-opening event in Hawaii, earning 12 top-10 finishes already in 2024. He’s added over 4 mph of ball speed off the tee with this combination, and is now averaging over 183 mph for the year.
His Chrome Tour Golf Ball provides Xander with total performance from tee-to-green, with fast ball speeds and outstanding greenside control. To put that into greater context, he’s currently 2nd on the PGA TOUR this year in Strokes Gained: Total and 3rd in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green.
Xander’s bag also includes a Callaway Opus Wedge. Our new Opus Wedges have now earned three major victories in 2024, with Xander’s wins at the PGA Championship and Open Championship, as well as Yuka Saso at the U.S. Women’s Open. Opus officially launched this week; led by innovative Spin Gen Face Technology™️, they provide extraordinary performance with unparalleled craftsmanship, and Callaway’s most Tour-validated shapes.
