After winning two major titles last year, World No. 2 Xander Schauffele is looking forward to another strong season in 2025. The ninetime PGA TOUR winner shares his thoughts in this Player Blog series.

I'm excited for the new season, and eager to keep working hard with my entire team to get my game up to a level where we want it to be. Each member in my team has a specific role and I am grateful for their dedication and support.
The work that I've been doing with my swing coach, Chris Como, since last year has been coming along nicely and I'm keen to see how well we can put the full swing together. There are times when you're trying to push your swing to a certain place or you stack two or three good weeks in a row, and then you feel really good.
Hopefully, the changes we're working on will feel normal sooner rather than later. Just like anything else, when you take some time off, old habits die hard, so I start to shift back into old swing patterns and it feels equally as weird to get back to what Chris wants me to do, versus the first time around. It's a work in progress.
Going into Valhalla for the PGA Championship last May, I felt really good with my game. Then, the Open Championship is a different beast as you're trying to keep the ball in play, keep it low and leave it on the right side of the hole with the wind. It was two completely different styles of golf that cater to different things from your game and it was a lot of fun.

CHIPPING STRATEGY How to read your chips like putts
Great chipping is as much about strategy and preparation as it is technique. Many amateurs make the mistake of simply looking at the distance they need to hit the ball rather than looking at the shot, figuring out where they need to land the ball on the green and deciding what club is best-suited to the situation. Here's a routine you can quickly integrate into your game to chip it closer more often. It doesn't have to slow up play - in fact, it'll speed things along if you're chipping it dead every time!

THE BASIC CHIP SHOT Perfect your set-up to hit pure chips
Setting your hands way ahead of the ball and playing it way back in your stance may feel like it’s going to create that slightly steep attack we've always been told is desirable for chipping, but it actually causes more problems than it cures. To play chip shots well, you want to use the true loft on the club at impact. You also want to use your spine angle to pre-set that downward attack, not the ball position and shaft lean.

THE FLOP SHOT Widen everything to add maximum loft
You pull or push an approach and, when you get to your ball, you find that not only is there a bunker between you and the hole, the pin is cut just a few feet onto the green. The smart strategy is to chip to the widest part of the green and accept you'll probably drop a shot, but there are times when you want to take this shot on. The good news is that it’s not nearly as difficult to play as it looks.
