Xander Schauffele enters this week's Valspar Championship on quite the streak — literally. Schauffele, ranked No. 3 in the Official World Golf Ranking, enters this week with the PGA Tour's current longest streak of consecutive made cuts (59) after making the cut on the number at last week’s Players Championship. He finished 72nd. Schauffele, whose last win was the 2024 Open Championship, is making his third career Valspar Championship appearance, having finished T5 a year ago and T12 in 2022.
