Xander Schauffele has become one of the best golfers in the world in recent years, but no one could ever know if they have been around his house.
Schauffele won nine times on the PGA Tour, including the PGA and the championships open last year for his first and second majors of his career. He also won the Tour championship in 2017, as well as three cups of the presidents and a Ryder Cup.
There is also the Tokyo Olympic gold medal in 2021 – and despite a lot of equipment, nothing from his home.

Schauffele revealed to Royal Portrush this week, before defending his title, that his parents have all his trophies “probably in a bank box somewhere”.
Except for the gold medal.
“I actually have no idea where it is, to be completely honest,” said Schauffele.

“What am I going to do with it? I don’t really invite people at home. I’m just going to go watch it myself? I don’t want to go into a trophy room like:” Listen as I am great. “I was just raised to think that way, and it’s a bit stuck.”
This raises the question: what is happening on the shelves of his house in Florida if not trophies?
“My wife hung up a few photos of me in my gymnasium of me winning the Olympic medal, and she has so high that I can’t reach her,” said Schauffele. “I have to get a ladder now, and it bothers me. If something, puts me in a master’s jacket, as it would piss me off, you know what I mean? Something like that is more motivating.”
