Aldrich Potgieter birdies fifth playoff hole for first PGA Tour win at Rocket Classic
The energy of youth topped the experience of age. Aldrich Potgieter, a 20-year-old South African, birdied the fifth playoff hole to defeat Max Greyserman and Chris Kirk to win the 2025 Rocket Classic on Sunday in Detroit. Potgieter poured in an 18-foot birdie putt at the par-3 15th hole at Detroit Golf Club. 'I finally got one to the hole, saw it roll end over end, and knew it was going into the hole,' he said. Potgieter shot 3-under 69 at Detroit Golf Club for a 72-hole total of 22-under 268. Greyserman, 30, shot a bogey-free 6-under 66. The Duke grad, who ranked second in SG: Putting for the week, led the field with most putts of more than 10 feet but couldn't convert from 12 feet to win in regulation and had multiple chances in the playoff but his putter went cold. Kirk, the grizzled vet at 40 and with six previous Tour titles, shot 5-under 67 on Sunday but missed from 16 feet at 18 in regulation and from 9 feet on the first playoff hole that would have won it. He took three putts on the second playoff hole and made bogey and was eliminated from the playoff. Potgieter turned professional in 2023 and became the youngest winner in Korn Ferry Tour history by winning the 2024 Bahamas Great Abaco Classic at age 19. At 20 years, 9 months, 16 days on Sunday, he became the seventh-youngest PGA Tour winner since the start of 1983, and the youngest player from South Africa ever to win on the PGA Tour.

These are the youngest golfers to win a tournament on the PGA Tour

It's the third time that big-hitting Aldrich Potgieter has threatened to win for the first time on the circuit. The South African became the youngest winner in Korn Ferry Tour history when he won the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic in early 2024 at 19 years, 4 months and 11 days. Youngest winners on PGA Tour The PGA Tour's official media guide lists five teenagers who won events, but four of them came in tournaments played decades ago: Youngest winners on PGA Tour since 1983 Since 1983, there has been just one teen to win on the PGA Tour. There have been six golfers who won nine tournaments as 20-year-olds. Tiger Woods won twice in his 20s as did Tom Kim and Nick Dunlap. Dunlap is one of two amateurs to win a PGA Tour event. Potgieter, 20 years, 9 months, 16 days on Sunday of the final round of the 2025 Rocket Classic, would become the seventh different golfer to win before being of legal age to sip the celebratory champagne.
