Schauffele earns his first major victory and
sets the lowest winning score in major championship history with a
Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Driver, Chrome Tour Golf Ball, and an
Odyssey Putter
CARLSBAD, Calif., May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On Sunday, Callaway
Staff Professional Xander Schauffele earned his first major win at
the 2024 PGA Championship. Schauffele also set the record for the
lowest score in major championship history at 21-under with rounds
of 62-68-68-65 at Valhalla Golf Club, highlighted by a clinching
birdie on the 72nd hole.
His winning equipment setup included a Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke
Triple Diamond Driver, Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Fairway
Wood, Apex UW, Apex TCB Irons, a JAWS Raw Wedge, a new Chrome Tour
Golf Ball, and an Odyssey Putter. Xander won the PGA Championship
in wire-to-wire fashion, after carding an opening round 62 on
Thursday that tied the lowest round ever in a major. He also shot a
62 last year during the opening round of the 2023 U.S. Open.
Xander's Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Driver features an
industry-first Ai Smart Face that
promotes multiple sweet spots across the entire face. This face
design optimizes driver performance using swing dynamics from
thousands of real golfers. These swing dynamics, or Swing Code,
consist of swing speed, club delivery, and face orientation just
prior to impact. Callaway's Paradym Ai Smoke is the #1 Driver in
the U.S. market for Q1, per Golf Datatech.
His 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 2nd
on the PGA TOUR this year in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green, 2nd in
Strokes Gained: Total and 8th in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee. The
new Chrome Tour lineup has helped Callaway achieve its highest
share ever in the premium golf ball category.
His Odyssey Putter features a mallet shape, and it helped him
make key putts throughout the weekend. Odyssey is the #1 Putter at
the PGA Championship, it's the #1 Putter on Tour, and it's the #1
Putter in the U.S. market for Q1, per Golf Datatech. Schauffele
joined Callaway and Odyssey's Staff at the beginning of 2018, and
since then he has won 6 PGA TOUR events along with the Gold Medal
in 2021. He is now #2 in the Official World Golf Rankings.
"It's an honor to win the PGA Championship, and I want to thank
everyone at Callaway who has helped to play such an important role
in my performance," said Schauffele. "I'm confident in my
equipment, and I've developed an incredible relationship with the
team ever since I've been on their staff. I'm so happy to celebrate
this with them."
"We're excited to congratulate Xander
Schauffele on his major victory at the PGA Championship,"
said Chip Brewer, President &
CEO of Topgolf Callaway Brands. "He's accomplished so much around
the world, from winning Olympic gold to capturing some of the
biggest events in professional golf. We knew it was only a matter
of time before he would break through at a major, and our entire
company was incredibly proud to see him win at Valhalla in an
unforgettable finish."
