Let’s look back at the 2024 Champion, Xander Schauffele , to see what it took to win:


Launching with Ground Force

Xander’s pelvis lift into impact is one of the highest on tour—at 3.4” , he’s well above the 2.9” tour average . This upward motion helps launch the ball high and far, especially with the driver.


Unreal Rotation
At impact, Xander gets his pelvis and chest more open than most:

  • Pelvis Turn : 44° (vs. 37.5° tour avg)

  • Chest Turn : 38° (vs. 30° tour avg)


Side bend + Sway Gap = serious separation.
To really drive the ball high, Xander creates a deep side bend and major horizontal separation:

  • Chest Side Bend : 43° (vs. 32° avg)

  • Sway Gap : -9.6” (vs. -6.7” avg)
