Despite His 6 Years of Service, Jordan Spieth Among Top Culprits to Embarrass Olympic Gold Medalist Xander Schauffele in Tricky Friendship Test
LIV Golf isn’t the only bucket full of laughter. Contrary to the stuffy reputation of the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour, the American and European circuits also love a joke or two, especially when it lightens the mood for the players.
With the PGA European Tour’s Genesis Scottish Open to kick off on Thursday, the players had an unexpected segment of trying to spell the name of the defending champion this season. Let’s see what it’s all about.
Golfers don’t know how to spell ‘Xander Schauffele’
Is it Schauffel or Schauffele? Maybe one ‘f’? Or is there a double ‘L’?
While preparing for the Genesis Scottish Open 2023, the golfers had a hard time trying to spell ‘Schauffele.’ The DP World Tour shared the reel with fans of five renowned golfers trying to spell the name of their comrade who joined the PGA Tour in 2017.
Given the complexity of the French-German name, the players had a roar. Xander Schauffele sneaked up behind Jordan Spieth while he struggled to get it right. He missed one ‘E’ and Scahuffele stared at his friend in disappointment. Max Homa, Yannik Paul, and Richard Mansel got it wrong as well, till they came to Eddie Pepperell. The English golfer took his time, spelling it out mentally, till et voila! Someone nailed it.
