On Tuesday (Wednesday AEDT), the hotly anticipated third season the PGA Tour docuseries ‘Full Swing’ premieres on Netflix. There will be plenty to laugh, cringe and cry at—from Xander Schauffele’s major breakthrough to Tom Kim’s Presidents Cup antics—but golf fans and casuals alike will all be tuning in for the same thing.
The Louisville Metro Police Department has posted the only known footage of Scheffler’s arrest outside Valhalla Golf Club last Friday ahead of the second round of the PGA Championship.
Schauffele opened the PGA with a stunning 62 to become the first golfer to shoot the lowest 18-hole score twice in major-championship history, while his 21-under-par winning total was also the lowest in major history. This is his blog from Valhalla Golf Club.
What kind of golf is best for major championships? There are more elements at play in golf’s current ecosystem, and perhaps a reconsideration is in order.
We often hear snippets about Schauffele – like Jordan Spieth calling him the funniest player in the Ryder Cup locker room – but it’s likely fans don’t know the full backstory on one of golf’s biggest stars. Here are 15 of the most important things to know about the 2024 PGA champion.
Schauffele’s win ended years of frustration in the majors. The 30-year-old Californian closed with a six-under 65 and set the all-time major scoring record in relation to par with a 21-under 263 aggregate.
An early stumble from Lucas Herbert opened the door for Min Woo Lee to finish the PGA Championship as the leading Australian in a lacklustre week for the Australian contingent.
There’s no way to know if the world No.1 would have definitely fared better had his week not been derailed, but it remains an interesting question to ponder.
