Xander Schauffele claimed the 2024 Open Championship in clinical fashion, solidifying his status as one of the top golfers in the world. The 30-year-old American tore through Royal Troon on July 21, posting a final round of 6-under 65 to win by three strokes at the final men’s major of the year.
Schauffele’s triumph at Royal Troon means that all four of the men’s major championships were won by American golfers this year. Scottie Scheffler won The Masters, Bryson DeChambeau clinched the U.S. Open, and Schauffele himself took home the US PGA Championship at Valhalla earlier in the year.
By winning the Open Championship, Schauffele secured numerous perks, including an exemption in the oldest major until he is 60 years old. He also walked away with the top prize of $3,100,000 from a total purse of $17,500,000.
