Seven-time PGA Tour winner Xander Schauffele joins us this week ahead of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, a tournament he tied for third in just one year ago.

We also discussed his “stale” 2022 majors season, his scorching-hot late summer run and why he and his best buddy Patrick Cantlay aren’t big social media guys.

After recapping the win, Mitchell told us his goals for this season, why he loves Waialae, this week’s host venue, and why the Tito’s Shorties Classic, which airs on January 11 at 7 p.m. ET on Golf Channel, is a must-watch event.
