Schauffele was praised in the PGA Tour circle for his loyalty. Recently, he also announced on his social media that he is conducting an event to raise money for junior golf. The event is being conducted on November 19th. He also shared the ticket information in the said post.
‘Is Phil Mickelson right or wrong?’, according to Xander
Schauffele is one of the golfers who has positively interacted with both LIV rebel Phil Mickelson and the PGA Tour. The Tour is crucial to Schauffele’s career. Mickelson, on the other hand, was instrumental in shaping his career.
Clearly, the choice Xander was presented with was not an easy one. Aside from that, given his proximity to both opposing parties, the general public widely anticipated the pro golfer’s views. This would have obviously made Xander’s job easier.

Schauffele presented a somewhat balanced view of the situation. But he did consider Phil’s point as well. Xander spoke on the topic of the changes that Phil suggested for the tour but couldn’t see through. He said. “It’s unfortunate he isn’t a part of that, because this is what he so wanted.”
Phil Mickelson is unable to play in the new era of the PGA Tour, mentioned Xander. He continued, “I think recent articles have come out, where people were like ‘Well. Phil wasn’t too far off, he just said some unsavory things.’ It’s unfortunate that he wasn’t able to get his point across.”
