Johnson Wagner has suggested that Xander Schauffele is flying right under the radar ahead of the PGA Championship and has a great chance of success at Aronimink.

It has been a mixed year for Schauffele so far. There have certainly been glimpses of his best form, with the American finishing inside the top 10 in four of his last seven starts on the PGA Tour.

However, those hoping to see him rival the likes of Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy following his victory at last year’s Baycurrent Classic may be slightly underwhelmed.

Most recently, Schauffele finished in a tie for 60th at the Truist Championship. It was particularly worrying given that he had finished second on both of his previous two visits to Quail Hollow for the events.

Nevertheless, Johnson Wagner believes that Schauffele is going to be in the mix at the PGA Championship – and will add to his tally of majors in the very near future.

“I think Xander Schauffele is just sliding right under the radar right now. We’ve been talking on radio about all this stuff about who’s the third best player in the world. Well, it’s Cam Young. You’ve got to go down the world rankings, winning The Players, winning a signature event. Fitz is on a hell of a run. Xander is just poised I think to go on a run like he did in 2024 when he won those two majors,” he said on .
