Jake Knapp is grieving the loss of one of his biggest supporters.

The PGA Tour golfer’s girlfriend, Makena White, has died, according to a statement shared on White’s Instagram account Sept. 26. She was 28.

The statement explained that White’s passing occurred earlier that week and that she was “already so deeply missed.”

“Makena was one of a kind,” the Instagram post read. “She had this rare way of making you feel special, and her huge heart was always overflowing with love. To be loved by Makena was a gift; one that came with endless laughter, so much joy, and a healthy sprinkling of chaos as we tried to keep up with her travel schedule.”

The post concluded, “We love you Mak. We’ll miss you always, and we’ll be looking for you in the sunset.”

A cause of death has not been shared publicly.
