The 2018 deal is still in action! The eight-time PGA winner Xander Schauffele joined forces with Callaway Golf six years ago, and the golf world has seen the partnership flourish over the years! This means that the 2017 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year has been using all the Callaway equipment, including clubs, drivers, irons, and putters, to take his game to new heights.
Although this deal’s details were not made available to the public at that time, it was still a big step for both parties. Callaway was thrilled to have Xander Schauffele on board and was looking forward to seeing what he could do with their equipment. And boy has he done magic, especially in 2024 by winning two majors.
Tim Reed, the company’s senior vice president of global sports and marketing, said, “Xander is one of the most exciting young players in the game. We know he’s going to do great things with our equipment, and we’re excited to be there with him every step of the way,” according to Golfweek.

Schauffele’s trusty Chrome Tour golf ball also deserves a part in his success. He also saw a visible boost in ball speed off the tee, averaging over 183 mph this year. The Chrome Ball is the perfect blend of speed, accuracy, and, most needed, control on the greens. Let’s not forget his Odyssey Las Vegas prototype putter, which has been a key factor in his performance in making those close putts.
