After enjoying a successful amateur career, Xander Schauffele turned professional in 2015. Since then, he has risen up the ranks quickly, with the American picking up multiple PGA Tour victories, including the Tour Championship and WGC-HSBC Championship.
To-date, his most successful season, trophy-wise, came in 2022, where he picked up three PGA Tour victories. These included the Zurich Classic of New Orleans alongside Patrick Cantlay, as well as the Travelers Championship and Genesis Scottish Open. If we were to look at it prize money-wise, though, his most successful season, to-date, came in 2022 - 23, when he picked up $8.5 million (excluding FedEx Cup payment).
As of the week of the 2024 PGA Championship, a tournament Schauffele shares the lead of going into the final round alongside Collin Morikawa, Schauffele has $46.5 million of PGA Tour prize money to his name, which puts him around the top 20 in PGA Tour history.
As mentioned, the FedEx Cup playoffs money isn't included within those figures so, if we were to add them, Schauffele finished second in 2022 - 23, which gave him an extra $6.5 million on top of his $8.5 million earned during the season. The year before, he finished fourth, which gave him an extra $4 million, adding on to his $7.5 million won in regulation.
Currently, in 2024, Schauffele's earnings stand at $7.7 million the week of the PGA Championship so, with another strong showing, he would easily surpass his best ever year on Tour. If we were to take out the FedEx Cup winnings, his biggest ever payout from one tournament is currently the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship, as a runner-up spot gave him $2.18 million.
Along with the amount of prize money and success, Schauffele has currently, and previously had, a number of sponsorship deals. In May 2024, his sponsors include Callaway, Descente, adidas and Discovery Land Company.
Callaway and adidas have been the longest sponsors of the American, with Schauffele signing contracts with both in January 2018. To this day, Schauffele still uses a full bag of Callaway clubs, including their golf balls, but the American now only wears adidas golf shoes after signing with Japanese clothing brand, Descente, in January 2024.
The last sponsor, we believe, is Discovery Land Company, an American real estate development company and hospitality operator based in Scottsdale, Arizona. At the 2024 PGA Championship, Schauffele had the brand logo on the front of his golf bag, but it is unclear as to what the possible deal is worth.
From what we believe, previously Schauffele was sponsored by Hyland Software from 2019 to 2023. Looking at his official website, the company is no longer listed, as is insurance company, Aon. However, we must stress that we don't know whether a split has occurred between the two brands and Schauffele.
