Xander Schauffele on future of PGA's powerplay events: "I'm always for a cut!"
Xander Schauffele was asked about the future of the PGA Tour and their elevated events to combat LIV Golf ahead of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Xander Schauffele says emotionally he's "always for a cut" when the American was asked about the future of the PGA Tour.
The 29-year-old was speaking before the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill.
If you didn't know, the tournament has a star-studded field with the likes of Rory McIlroy and red-hot Jon Rahm in attendance, among others.

The stop will be the fourth 'elevated event' event of the calendar year. In total, 44 of the world's top 50 players are competing.
We're sure you know by now, but the PGA Tour introduced these tournaments as a powerplay against the LIV Golf League.
There have been some rumblings that at some point these events will do away with a cut. That would certainly make the sponsors happy.
And no doubt some fans would be delighted knowing they'll definitely get to see their favourite players no matter what day they have a ticket.
Schauffele has been heavily linked with a move to LIV, where there are no cuts in the 48-man field, three-day events.
He's now signed on to be a part of Tiger Woods' and McIlroy's golf league, TGL, which suggests he's not going anywhere fast.
The seven-time PGA Tour winner told the media that, emotionally, he was always 'for a cut'. But it requires a lot of careful thought.

Schauffele spoke to the media shortly after the aforementioned Rahm sent a warning shot to his rivals.
Asked if he thought there was anyone that could beat the Spaniard if he was 'firing on all cylinders', Rahm simply said: 'No'.
Schauffele had a different answer to this question.
