The PGA Tour’s final event of the season is just around the corner! The world’s top golfers are gearing up for a thrilling conclusion to the year, and we can’t wait to see who’ll come out on top. The players look forward to a well-deserved break after a long and grueling season. Or so you’d think. But Xander Schauffele’s plans for the offseason might surprise you. So what’s on his mind and why he’s dreading the break.

In a candid admission with The Smylie Show podcast, Xander Schauffele was questioned about his plans after the tournament. The World no.2 golfer revealed that he’s not exactly thrilled about his upcoming schedule. He said, “It feels weird to say this, but actually, I’m not looking forward to it,” and it has nothing to do with golf. Schauffele’s answer might raise some eyebrows but he’s not worried about his game or a relaxing vacation.

Instead, he’s got a different challenge in mind, that’s got him feeling a bit uneasy. The reason for the apprehension is a party. The 30-year-old said, “I got my brother’s bash party next week. It’s in Vegas. There’s a big group of guys. It’s gonna be a lot of fun.” And it seems Schauffele is more concerned about surviving the party than his golf game. He hinted that he’s both eager to let loose and anxious about the potential consequences. 

As he prepares for the off-season, Schauffele’s mind is already racing ahead to the potential aftermath. “But thinking of, you know, being dehydrated and drinking and more tired, even after this week is something else,” he admits with anticipation. With this it’s clear that a wild ride is waiting for him after the TOUR Championship. “So we’ll have to gear up for that one,” he added, almost as if he’s psyching himself up for a major tournament.

Schauffele’s unorthodox postseason plans have sparked curiosity, leaving fans pondering about his next move. The golf world waits with bated breath to see how his Vegas adventure unfolds. In fact, it’s the perfect moment to reflect on his remarkable season.
