Heather Garcia+FollowPotgieter Joins Elite Young Guns Club!Wow, what a finish at the Rocket Classic! Big-hitting Aldrich Potgieter, just 20, survived a wild five-hole playoff to grab his first PGA Tour win. He’s now part of a super-exclusive group of young champs—think Tiger, Tom Kim, and Spieth. Potgieter’s been knocking on the door all season, but breaking through in Detroit puts him in legendary company. Anyone else think he could be the next big rivalry for the Tour’s young stars? #PGATour #GolfHistory #Potgieter #Sports #Golf10Share
sarahgibson+FollowPotgieter vs. Knapp: Rocket Classic DramaWhat a wild Rocket Classic this year! Young gun Aldrich Potgieter held the 54-hole lead, but Jake Knapp’s Friday course record made things spicy. Potgieter showed real grit Sunday after some early nerves, fighting off Knapp and Chris Kirk to chase that $1.728M winner’s share. With 86 players making the cut (crazy, right?), the payout got tight at the bottom, but the top dogs still cashed big. This rivalry could be one to watch all season! #RocketClassic #PGATour #GolfRivalry #Sports #Golf00Share
Krystal Lopez+FollowRocket Classic’s New Date: Game Changer?Big news for golf fans: the Rocket Classic is shifting to a post-British Open slot in 2026 (July 30-Aug. 2). This move could finally draw more big names to Detroit, especially those fighting for FedEx Cup points. The club’s $16M course upgrade should make things even more interesting. Could this be the boost the Motor City needs to keep its PGA stop? #RocketClassic #PGATour #GolfNews #Sports #Golf00Share

Jon Rahm, now $500M richer after joining the rebel tour, got roasted about only losing to Scottie “Ice Man” Scheffler in the majors. Rahm took it like a champ, even admitting, “We all lose to him.” With Scheffler’s hot streak—two more majors and still world No.1—does Rahm’s mega deal look worth it if he can’t dethrone the Ice Man?

Tammy Davenport+FollowPotgieter Outdrives Rory—Is He Golf’s New Hulk?Aldrich Potgieter, the South African powerhouse, is smashing records as the PGA Tour’s longest hitter, averaging a jaw-dropping 326.6 yards off the tee—six more than Rors! His rugby and wrestling roots clearly give him that extra torque, and at just 20, he’s already outdriving legends like Bryson and King Rory. At the Mexico Open, he even went driver-driver on a 661-yard par 5. Are we witnessing the rise of golf’s next distance king? #PGATour #Potgieter #GolfRecords #Sports #Golf20Share
Tammy Davenport+FollowKnapp’s Rocket Classic Record: History Made!Jake Knapp, aka the ‘California Crusher,’ just pulled off something we’ve never seen before on the PGA Tour! After his legendary 59 at the Cognizant Classic, Knapp stormed back from 130th place to fire an 11-under 61 at Detroit GC—setting his second course record this season.

Tammy Davenport+FollowRocket Classic Cut Drama: Past Champs Out!Wow, the Rocket Classic cut line was wild this year! The big story? Three former champs—including inaugural winner Nate Lashley and defending champ Cam Davis—missed the weekend after the cut settled at 6 under. Even King Keegan (fresh off his Travelers win) barely squeaked through. The Detroit Golf Club played easier than last year, but the pressure was real. Did anyone else see Fitzpatrick’s clutch bunker birdie? This cut line rollercoaster is what makes the PGA Tour so unpredictable! #RocketClassic #PGATour #GolfTalk #Sports #Golf30Share
rmendoza+FollowDMDs: Game Changer or Just Hype?Looks like the PGA Tour is all-in on distance measuring devices (DMDs) after a successful four-week trial. The data shows approach shots and par-5s sped up, but there’s still debate on how much time is really saved. With the Players Advisory Council set to vote, will this tech shake up the pace of play or is it just a minor tweak? Curious to see how the pros and caddies adapt—especially when every second counts! #PGATour #GolfTech #PaceOfPlay #Sports #Golf20Share

Morikawa called out Schupak for a story that made him look bad about his revolving door of caddies, especially after parting ways with Joe Greiner. Morikawa felt the coverage disrespected his commitment to pro-am partners and the tournament. In the end, he cleared the air but showed he’s not afraid to stand up for himself. Thoughts on how the media handles these player stories? #Morikawa #PGATour #GolfDrama #Sports #Golf10Share
