American professional golfer Alexander "Xander" Schauffele, born October 25, 1993, competes on the PGA Tour. Since going pro in 2015, he has claimed seven victories on the PGA Tour and ten overall. In a tie for second place at the 2018 Open Championship and the 2019 Masters, Schauffele achieved his best major finish.


In 2016, he finished in 15th place at the Web.com Tour Finals, earning his PGA Tour card for the 2017 season. In his rookie season, he won his first PGA Tour event at the Greenbrier Classic, over Robert Streb with a score of 266, under 14 by a single stroke.


Followed by the 2017 Tour Championship win against Justin Thomas by a single stroke for a score of 268, under 12. He also won the Rookie of the Year Award that season.


Next season, he won the WGC-HSBC Champions in a playoff, defeating Tony Finau for a score of 274, under 14. Schauffele won with a birdie on the first extra hole. He even nearly defended his title in the 2019 season, but lost in a playoff to Rory McIlroy.


At the men's individual golf tournament of the 2020 Summer Olympics, Schauffele took home the Olympic gold medal. His most recent professional win was at the 2022 Genesis Scottish Open, which was co-sanctioned by the European Tour, for a score of 273, under 7, defeating Kurt Kitayama by a single stroke.


Xander Schauffele's Caddie

Austin Kaiser is the caddie for Xander Schauffele as of April 2024.


Xander Schauffele and Austin Kaiser have been friends for more than ten years. Kaiser has only served as a caddie for the past six years, but was a respectable golfer for the San Diego State Aztecs, the same collegiate team on which they both competed.


Austin made the cut in 12 of 13 tournaments during his junior year, finished fourth on the team, and had four top-20 finishes. He also participated in his first game in 2015 and assisted Schauffele in obtaining his PGA Tour card.


However, Kaiser has had a different dream since he was a child. He had no interest in playing golf or working as a caddie. Austin Kaiser always dreamed of becoming a police officer after graduating from college.


He even enrolled in the police academy and had just about finished all of the required schooling when Xander called to say, “Hey, I need a caddie, and I think you would be great. We’re buds, and you know my game more than almost anybody.” So Austin decided to give it a shot.
