‘It’s Shameful’: Amid His Son’s Tragic Loss, Xander Schauffele’s Angry Father Makes An Ugly PGA Confession
The early signs of a storm were already there. First, two players were missing when team USA went to scout Marco Simone. Then came the bombshell report that claimed the USA team is ‘fractured’ from inside. And now, Xander Schauffele’s father, Stefan Schauffele, has shared a major update that adds fuel to the fire.
Stefan Schauffele, known for his jovial personality, has slammed the PGA of America for their “shameful” actions. Apparently, PGA went incommunicado when Schauffele and his close buddy Patrick Cantlay wanted to make amendments to the player contract. Apparently, the governing body threatened to kick the current world no.6 out of the team unless he signed the contract as it is.
The duo were at the eye of the storm after reports emerged that they wanted to get paid to represent USA at the Ryder Cup. Although, Cantlay has since then repeatedly denied these allegations, now Schauffele’s father has said both the players wanted some changes to the player participation and contract agreement drafted by PGA of America.
Reportedly, the contract included an agreement to allow Netflix cameras inside the US locker room. Netflix was supposed to shoot the second part of the “Full Swing” documentary. However, the Current World. No. 5 & 6 raised concerns about it and eventually, a vote was taken. It was unanimously decided to block the cameras inside the USA locker room.
