Xander Shaufel calls the media before the championship BMW
Star PGA Tour XANDER SHAUFEL discussed golf money with BMW championship at Colorado Castle Pine Golf Club.
Shafele discussed the terrible topic of cash at an unusually lively press conference in front of the three -playoffs on the PGA tour. Double Major Champion also talked about who should win the “Player of the Year” race, how mature for many years, and the worst loss of today.
However, the money was at the top of the agenda, and in August, it produced $ 100 million in August, taking into account the FedExcup play. Thanks to his stellar performances on the tour and his two major championship wins, Schauffele has made $17.6 million this year alone, the most in the field.

He knows there’s a lot of money involved, but Schauffele says it’s important to put it all in context, as it has nothing to do with other sports. “The media has become interesting to me over the last couple of years,” Schauffele said.
“There’s a reason wallets are bulging and a lot of people are talking about money.
\”The news that I do read, it\’s funny, it\’s really negative. It\’s painted really negatively in golf, which is fine. “I think people love to hate on anything these days.
“But if you look at other sports, when someone gets a $300 million contract, there are all these positive comments about how that person earned the bag, or that he worked hard to get it, so he deserved it, etc. “That’s interesting to me. Maybe golf is a gentleman’s game and you’re not supposed to talk about money, but all the media wants to do is talk about money. »
He added: “I think us players, the ones who make the most, don’t think about money because it’s not the most important thing.” »
Schauffele said winning this year’s $25 million FedEx Cup bonus would be “really nice,” but not life-changing. \ “If I am losing and I play terribly, I will be very angry with playing badly and will be very angry that I will not be able to reach the top at the right time to lose money. \ \
To further explain the points, Schauffele also talked about the amount of NFL players.
Rory Mcilroy also used some kinds in the past. \ “You look at the top 10 quoters, \”, said Shaufel.
\ “Scotti [Sheffler] won seven times, I think that \ included Olympic gold. And he\’s made significantly more than everyone else
\”If you look at how much 10th has made, the 10th-best player in the world has made, it’s not going to sniff how much Scottie has made.
\”That just shows you how well Scottie has played in these big tournaments. “You look at the No. 1 quarterback. He’s going to get $60 million, then the No. 10 quarterback is going to get $52 million, then the No. 15 quarterback is going to get $39 million or $40 million.”
