Xander Schauffele hoping to get back into swing of things at The Sentry

Xander Schauffele insists his remodelled swing remains a work in progress as he looks to capitalise on Scottie Scheffler’s absence from The Sentry.

World number one Scheffler has been ruled out of the opening PGA Tour event of 2025 in Hawaii after undergoing surgery to repair a hand wound sustained while cooking Christmas dinner.

His absence sees Schauffele, the winner of last year’s PGA Championship and Open Championship, installed as the new favourite for the tournament in Maui that begins on Thursday.
