The major championship slate is wiped clean as the calendar flips to the new year and players eye four opportunities to claim golf immortality in 2025. The 2024 major championship results were rather predictable with Scottie Scheffler securing his second green jacket in the last three years and Bryson DeChambeau raising another U.

In an interview with the media, Xander stressed that each of the golfers has the desire to beat the competition.

Xander Schauffele has withdrawn from the 2025 American Express, the PGA Tour announced Monday. The world No. 2 joins world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler in removing his name from the field list, though unlike with Scheffler, no reason was given for Schauffele's departure from the event held annually in Palm Springs, California.

World No. 2 Xander Schauffele has withdrawn from this week’s tournament in the California desert for an undisclosed reason.

The reality is the only time when the best players in the world will compete against each other is at the four majors — the Masters (April 10-13), the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow (May 15-18), the U.S. Open at Oakmont (June 12-15), and the Open Championship at Royal Portrush (July 17-20).
