After winning the PGA Championship in May at Valhalla Golf Club, Callaway staffer Xander Schauffele has secured his second major win at the 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon Golf Club.
Schauffele shot a scorching bogey-free 6-under 65 to turn a one-shot deficit into a three-shot win.
In May, Schauffele tied the lowest round in major history with a 9-under 62 first round and finished off a wire-to-wire win in Kentucky with a five-foot birdie putt on No. 18.
Now, Schauffele will look to defend his Olympic Gold Medal in Paris in two weeks. This is his second major of the season, and he finishes in the top ten in all four majors.
Here's a look at the Callaway equipment in his bag, the continued success of the Chrome Golf Ball Family, and Odyssey's putter count domination.

A Chrome Tour Golf Ball
Schauffele has gamed his driver and golf ball since the season-opening event in Hawaii, earning eleven top-10 finishes already in 2024. He's added over 4 mph of ball speed off the tee with this combination and is now averaging over 183 mph for the year. Paradym Ai Smoke is the No. 1 Driver in U.S. Market Share so far this year, per Golf Datatech.
The Chrome Tour Golf Ball provides Xander with total performance from tee-to-green, with fast ball speeds and outstanding greenside control. To put that into greater context, he's currently second on the PGA TOUR this year in Strokes Gained: Total and third in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green.
Schauffele's bag also includes a Callaway Opus Wedge. The new Opus Wedges have already earned two major wins, with Xander's victory at the PGA Championship and Yuka Saso's victory at the U.S. Women's Open. Opus officially launched this week. Led by innovative Spin Gen Face Technology™️, they provide extraordinary performance with unparalleled craftsmanship and Callaway's most Tour-validated shapes.
Odyssey is the No. 1 Putter at The Open, led by the continued success of the Ai-ONE Putter lineup and Jailbird. Odyssey has now been the No. 1 Putter this year at every men's and women's major and has the most putter wins of any brand in 2024.
