A Star-Making Victory

Potgieter set the tone early with a record-tying opening round of 62 and remained in contention throughout the weekend. Despite pressure from seasoned competitors, he held his nerve during the playoff, sealing the win with a birdie on the first extra hole.

The victory not only earns him a significant payday but also secures his PGA Tour card through 2027, and an invitation to multiple majors, including the Masters and PGA Championship.

This marks a massive moment in Potgieter’s young career, as he becomes one of the youngest international winners on the PGA Tour in recent memory.
