Xander Schauffele: Xander Schauffele suffers rib cage injury following the 2025 Sentry; WDs from home tournament

Xander Schauffele has pulled out of the upcoming Farmers Insurance Open unexpectedly due to medical reasons. He had missed out on the Sony Open and American Express tournaments as well.

According to Golf Channel's Todd Lewis, the World No. 2 is suffering from a rib cage injury that has forced him out of play. According to him, there is still uncertainty around Schauffele's participation at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at the end of the month.

The 31-year-old was last seen at the Sentry in Hawaii in early January. He had placed T30 with the score of 17-under. Lewis reported that Schauffele had in fact played through the injury.

Going into Hawaii, the star was considered the top favorite in the odds list to win the Sentry. However, he had struggled to perform.

The 2025 Farmers Insurance Open was at Schauffele's home ground in San Diego, California. He even attended the San Diego State University. However, the US golfer now lives in Jupiter, Florida.

Xander Schauffele had entered the year having achieved a spectacular 2024 season. He picked up two Major Championship titles at the Open Championship and the PGA Championship. The ace golfer also recorded three runner-up and 15 top-ten finishes. He was also the only player to finish in the top-ten in all of the Major Championships last year.
