Xander SchaUffele has become one of the best golfers in the world in recent years, but no one would ever know if they took a tour of his house.
Schauffele has won nine times on PGA Tour, including PGA and Open Championships last year for his first and second majors in his careers. He also won the Tour Championship in 2017 as well as three presidents cups and a Ryder Cup.
There is also the Olympic Gold Medal from Tokyo in 2021 – and despite lots of hardware, none of it is at his house.

Schauffele revealed at Royal Portrush this week before defending his title that his parents have all his trophies “probably in a bank vault somewhere.”
Except for the gold medal.
“In fact, I have no idea where it is to be perfectly honest,” Schauffele said.

PGA -Star’s father skips the ‘insurmountable’ Ryder Cup on Bethpage Black: ‘scared of what will happen’
“What am I going to do with it? I don’t really invite people over to my house. Should I just look at it myself? I don’t want to go into a trophy like ‘see how amazing I am.’ I was just raised to think that way and it’s a bit firm.
It raises the question: What’s on the shelves of his Florida home, if not trophies?
“My wife was hanging with some pictures of me in my gym of me and won the Olympic medal, and she set it up so high that I can’t reach it,” SchaUffele said. “I have to get a ladder now and it bothering me. If something, you have to put me up in a masters jacket that would annoy me, you know what I mean? Something like it’s more motivating.”
