He leads a competitive list that includes Bryson DeChambeau, who sits tied with Justin Rose at an average of 69.29. Close behind is Rory McIlroy, who posted an average of 69.79, followed by Russell Henley with 69.93.

The scoring average is calculated by dividing the total number of strokes by the number of rounds played in the specified Major tournaments. These include the 2024 Open Championship, 2024 PGA Championship, 2025 Masters and other recent Major events in that period. Schauffele’s performance shows consistent scoring across these events, despite varying course conditions and fields.

DeChambeau’s recent LIV Golf victory in Korea and strong finish at last year’s PGA Championship were not enough to surpass Schauffele’s overall scoring consistency. McIlroy, who ended his Major drought with a win at the 2025 Masters, remains close in average but falls behind due to higher rounds in previous Majors.

Schauffele’s results reflect his form in recent months, including his breakthrough Major win at the 2024 PGA Championship and a string of top finishes in other marquee events. His average is currently the best among players who have played all four most recent Majors.

The list highlights not just Major wins but the ability to stay under par consistently, round after round, against the strongest fields. With the next Major approaching, Schauffele enters as one of the most in-form players based on pure scoring performance.
