Staff WriterXander Schauffele doesn’t tend to do drama—he prefers cold precision and quiet brutality on a golf course—but at the Baycurrent Classic, he treated us to a Sunday finish with the pulse of a crime thriller.
With a surgeon’s touch and the patience of a monk, Xander Schauffele carved out his 10th PGA TOUR victory, firing a superb 7-under final round to edge fellow Callaway staffer Max Greyserman by a single shot. A Callaway 1–2? Somewhere in Carlsbad, California, the marketing department is still high-fiving.
Schauffele, now a two-time major champion, didn’t just win—he executed. One shot here, one putt there, a final stretch of birdies that looked inevitable only because he made them so. There are players who survive pressure; Schauffele stalks it and folds it into submission.
And if you’re wondering how he pulled off yet another masterclass under fire, Callaway will happily supply a clue: it came off the face of two key weapons in his bag—the Elyte Triple Diamond Fairway Wood and the Callaway Opus SP Wedge. The fairway wood was his lifeline; the Opus SP his scalpel. Together, they helped him birdie three of the closing six holes and shut the door on Greyserman like a bouncer on a nightclub lightweight.
A Statement Win for Schauffele – and Callaway
Golf isn’t a team sport unless you count the army of logoed equipment reps hovering trackside every week, but Team Callaway walked away from the Baycurrent Classic looking like a proper tour stable.
Greyserman pushed Schauffele all the way to the final green to finish solo second. Min Woo Lee cracked the top 10, Rasmus and Nicolai Højgaard teamed up for matching T14 finishes, and Si Woo Kim coasted into T20 without too much fuss.
If you’re Callaway, that’s not just a marketing buzz—it’s a clean sweep of momentum heading into the meat of the season.
The Tools Behind the Triumph: Xander Schauffele’s Winning WITB
For gearheads who drool over shaft profiles and loft angles like they’re collector whisky notes, here’s exactly what Schauffele used to dismantle the Baycurrent Classic:
| Club | Model | Specs | Shaft / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driver | Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond | 10.5° | MCA Diamana PD 70TX |
| Fairway Wood | Elyte Triple Diamond | 16.5° | MCA Diamana PD 80TX |
| Utility Wood | Apex UW | 21° | Mitsubishi Diamana D+ 90TX |
| Irons | Apex TCB | 4–PW | True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 |
| Wedges | Opus SP | 52° | True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue |
| Putter | Odyssey Las Vegas Prototype | — | — |
| Ball | Chrome Tour | — | — |
The Callaway Opus SP Wedge got plenty of airtime in the final round, cleaning up tight pins with the kind of spin you’d expect from someone ordering a martini at Augusta. The Elyte Triple Diamond Fairway Wood, meanwhile, was a weapon off the deck—long, low, and lethal.
Schauffele isn’t one for chest-thumping victory speeches, and he didn’t need one. His scorecard said enough. Ten PGA TOUR wins. Two majors. Unshaken, unflappable, and unbothered by pressure. The man just shows up, keeps his head down, and wins.
If golf had a stock market, you’d be buying Xander Schauffele right now—and holding long.
