Xander Schauffele has won the 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon, securing his second major title of the year and being named the Champion Golfer of the Year. Schauffele posted a bogey-free final-round 65 to claim the title with a three-shot lead, finishing at -9. This victory follows his win at the PGA Championship in May, making him the first player since Brooks Koepka in 2018 to win two majors in a single year.

His performance this year has been outstanding, finishing in the top 8 in all four majors.
