Who Is Xander Schauffele’s Wife? All About Maya Lowe

Xander Schauffele has known his wife Maya Lowe since college.

The couple met in 2014 and got married seven years later. “It’s been a long time,” said the professional golfer at a press conference shortly after the wedding. “We have been together for a long time and we decided to make it public. We are very happy.”

San Diego-born Schauffele, who won a gold medal at the 2021 Tokyo Games, has been a professional golfer since 2015. He, too, comes from a sporting family — his father, Stefan, is his swing coach and was set to represent Germany in the heptathlon at the Olympic Games before he was left blind in one eye in a car accident, The The New York Times reported.

Despite his busy career, he always finds time for his wife. “I never thought I could play golf at a high level and take care of someone other than myself,” he told Golf 2021. “But it’s pretty special to take care of someone like that and have that someone there for you.”

In January 2024, Schauffele celebrated his wife’s birthday with sweet calls on Instagram. “Happy birthday my love,” he wrote alongside the couple’s selfie.
