This Xander Schauffele gambling promo video is the definition of cringeworthy

Blink twice if you need help, Xander.

It’s a quiet time for the starts of the PGA Tour, especially those who aren’t participating in the Ryder Cup later this month in Rome. Although certain stars like Max Homa and Justin Thomas will tee it up next week at the Fortinet Championship in Napa, California, for the first event of the fall, many will take time off until the season kicks off in Hawaii come January.

That doesn’t mean we won’t see any of them. Schauffele, fresh off his runner-up finish at the 2023 Tour Championship, posted a promo video for Draft Kings to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday night.

Let’s just say, Schauffele is way better at golf than he is at promo videos. Although the latter isn’t easy, this one is cringeworthy.

Golf Twitter went to town roasting Schauffele for his performance. And how could you blame them?

Let’s just hope he brings his A-game to Marco Simone for the Ryder Cup.
