Xander Schauffele's 'Zero' Check: The Humbling Price of Losing the Skins Game
In a bizarre twist, Xander Schauffele walked away from his disappointing performance in the recently revived Skins Game without pocketing any cash. Despite finishing with an impressive 11 skins under his belt, including nine on two holes, Schauffele's check read zero dollars.
The irony of the situation was not lost on the golfers, who had started the event with a $1 million pot. As players accumulated skin after skin, their initial funds dwindled until only one player remained. This year's Skins Game saw Bradley emerge victorious, raking in $2.1 million, including $900,000 for his impressive shot on the par-3 12th hole.
Fleetwood, meanwhile, pulled off a stunning comeback to secure $1.25 million. It was a dramatic turn of events that left even the most seasoned golfers stunned. Schauffele's performance, however, did not translate into success, and he ultimately walked away with nothing.
"I'm gonna frame this in the living room," Schauffele joked about his check, showing good sportsmanship despite his disappointing outcome. However, it seems that this time around, losing meant missing out on a big payday. The 2025 Skins Game will undoubtedly be remembered for its unexpected twists and turns, especially when it comes to Xander Schauffele's zero-dollar check.
As the game continues to evolve, one thing is certain: in the world of professional golf, sometimes you win, and sometimes you don't. This year's Skins Game served as a poignant reminder that success can be bittersweet, even for top players like Schauffele.

and he ended up with... zilch 
yeah I know it sounds weird but apparently if you get all those skins (which he did a lot of) your check is like, the amount of money left in the pot 
. So he got tons of skins but somehow still lost out on some serious cash 
. still gotta feel bad for him tho
just saw xander schauffele walk away from the skins game with zero bucks lol what a letdown! 11 skins and nothin' 
he's all about good sportsmanship but gotta wonder what he was thinkin' when he stuck around for that last hole 
2025 skins game is def one to remember... not so much for schauffele though 
. The Skins Game is supposed to be about bragging rights and having a good time, but apparently, it's also about the money 
.
!!! I mean, he did amazingly well with 11 skins under his belt but still ended up with ZERO DOLLARS?! That's like getting all the candies you want at a candy store and then finding out they're just toys 
.
. And can we talk about how crazy that comeback by Fleetwood was?
