Xander Schauffele has secured his first-ever Major title with a stunning performance at Valhalla, winning the PGA Championship with an impressive effort of 21 under par.
His partner, Maya Lowe, was there cheering him on as he made history on the course.
Lowe, a graduate from the University of California in 2017, is currently pursuing a Masters in Health Care Administration/Management at the University of Maryland.
Fluent in Japanese, the 28-year-old has been in a relationship with Schauffele since 2014, and the couple officially tied the knot in July 2021.
Lowe is a familiar face at tournaments, often seen supporting her boyfriend and even caddying for him during events like the par-3 contest at Augusta last year.
Schauffele, who turned professional in 2015, has had an impressive career leading up to his Major win at Valhalla.
With seven PGA tour victories under his belt before this triumph, Schauffele claimed titles such as the Greenbrier Classic, Tour Championship, WGC-HSBC Champions, and the Sentry Tournament of Champions.
His best year came in 2022, where he won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, Travelers Championship, and the Scottish Open within a four-month period.
Despite consistent top-ten finishes in all four Majors, Schauffele had not clinched a Major championship until now, with a runner-up finish at the 2019 Masters. According to the PGA website, Schauffele has accumulated $38 million in career earnings, with his recent win at Valhalla adding another $3.33 million to his prize money.
The victory at Valhalla marks a significant milestone in Schauffele’s career and solidifies his place among the top golfers in the world.
With the unwavering support of Maya Lowe by his side, Schauffele’s future in the world of golf looks bright as he continues to strive for excellence on the course.
