Xander Schauffele’s Wife Maya Sends Priceless Message During Epic Run

Xander Schauffele has been enjoying a stellar 2024 season, with his wife Maya (Lowe) Schauffele by his side. After clinching his first major win at the PGA Championship, Xander is now in contention to win The Open Championship. He started the season without a major title, and by year-end, he could secure two.

Following his PGA Championship victory, Maya shared a humorous video on Instagram capturing the celebration. The footage featured Xander, friends, and family drinking champagne from the trophy. “It all felt like a dream. 🏆 So proud of @xanderschauffele 👏🏼,” Maya posted on May 20, 2024. “We laughed, we cried, and we most certainly drank!🍾.” Notably, NBC revealed that Xander’s father, Stefan Schauffele, was absent from the PGA Championship but present at The Open Championship, setting up a potentially memorable moment.

Xander now approaches majors with the confidence of a major champion. Speaking to reporters on July 21, he acknowledged that his PGA Championship win could benefit him at The Open Championship. “I’d have to take a guess, but I imagine it’s not going to hurt me,” Xander said. “If I’m in that spot with a few holes to play, I think I can maybe lean on that. It’s just such a different style of golf. It’s such a different tournament. That’s the great thing about these majors is they’re very different, and it’s an honor to try to win them.”

**Xander and Maya Schauffele’s Adventures and Charitable Efforts**

Beyond golf, Xander and Maya cherish their time together, often traveling. They organized the Fore Pups charity event in 2023, which helped fund Maui’s rebuilding efforts. Maya fondly recalled a 2023 trip to Hawaii with Xander, expressing gratitude for their time by the ocean. “I am so grateful to be by the ocean again this time of the year,” she wrote in a January 1, 2023 Instagram post. “The first photo was taken earlier today and the second was taken when Xander proposed two years ago. The ocean is our happy place.💙 Cheers to 2023! Wishing everyone a beautiful start to the new year.✨”

Xander and Maya are also dedicated to charitable causes, exemplified by the Fore Pups golf tournament. The event, which combined golf with support for animal lovers, aimed to raise funds for Maui relief efforts. The event’s website invited participants to enjoy a day of golf, raffle giveaways, joyful pictures, and the chance to adopt a new furry friend.
