The deal with Boston includes a player option in the second season, ESPN reported.
Schauffle stays hot with Scottish Open victory
Xander Schauffele keeps making up for lost time. Winless for more than two years, Schauffele picked up his fourth victory in the last 12 months when he overcame a rough patch in the middle of his round with two key birdies and a par save for an even-par 70 to win the Scottish Open.
It was the first time the PGA Tour co-sanctioned a European tour event.
Schauffele's 8-foot par save on the par-3 17th at The Renaissance Club gave him a two-shot lead, and the 28-year-old played it smartly from there. He took iron off the 18th tee to avoid trouble and wound up missing an 8-foot par try.
Schauffele finished at 7-under 273, one shot ahead of Kurt Kitayama (66).
