Xander Schauffele’s latest major win complicates another big accolade
Xander Schauffele’s victory at the Masters Tournament on Sunday has complicated his chances of winning another major accolade: the Player of the Year award.
The award is given to the player who has performed the best over the course of the season, and it is typically awarded to the player who has won the most majors. However, Schauffele’s win at the Masters was his first major victory, and he will now have to compete with other players who have won multiple majors this season, such as Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.
Schauffele is still a strong contender for the Player of the Year award, but his win at the Masters has made the race much more competitive.
