Xander Schauffele hits the gym and the practice range amid PGA Tour comeback plans

Xander Schauffele has had a disappointing start to the 2025 PGA Tour season as he suffered a rib injury early in the season and has missed a few prominent events. However, the 31-year-old golfer has hit the gym and practice range and is all set to return to the PGA Tour next week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

He shared a few pictures from his gym workout and practice range while thanking all the fans for their support.

"Thanks for all the support! Working hard on getting back ASAP 👊🏽," wrote Xander Schauffele.

Schauffele will compete in his first event next week since the season opener, The Sentry, at Maui’s Kapalua Resort, where he finished T30 for the event.

"It’s been a slow recovery, the ribcage seems to be a nagging, slowish recovery area due to a lack of blood flow and the constant use. I just wanted to be 100% before I returned and sacrificed a bit on this front end (of the season) to make sure the back end is safe," Schauffele told Today’s Golfer.

Xander Schauffele will hope for a decent comeback next week and build on the impressive season he had on the PGA Tour last year.
