Xander Schauffele won one of the biggest prizes of his career last season. Winning Olympic gold is a feeling like no other. However, Schauffele did not win any PGA Tour event last season despite making 22 starts.
He finished second thrice, one of which came at the 2020 CJ Cup. Schauffele achieved eight Top 10 finishes and only missed the cut twice in 22 starts. That is incredible consistency.
