Who’s Got Game? • Are Tour winners likelier to be wizards around the green or wonder boys from tee to green? (Good news for Patrick Cantlay: He’s a little of both.)

Bet on the Long Ball

For all the noise Xander Schauffele made on the golf course this year—gold medalist at the Summer Olympics, Team U.S.A. stud at the runaway Ryder Cup—he’s the epitome of a low-key pro. For a fuller sense of the Who, Why and How of ‘X,’ you’ve got to talk to the people around him.

X-EMPLARY • Xander’s career numbers on the PGA Tour through the 2021 Tour Championship
