The PGA TOUR returns to Mexico for the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld, the first of two events on the schedule to earn a spot in the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard. Jake Knapp returns to defend his first PGA TOUR title and comes into the week off his best result of the season, a T17 at The Genesis Invitational. Akshay Bhatia also had his best result of 2025 last week, finishing T9 at Torrey Pines. Bhatia will be looking to better his 2023 result at Vidanta where he finished fourth in his first appearance. Danish twins Rasmus and Nicolai Højgaard are both in action in this week, with Rasmus finishing T12 at the WM Phoenix Open while Nicolai finished T36 in Phoenix, the only other start for the European Ryder Cup Team member in 2025. There are more than a half-dozen PGA TOUR winners from 2024 in the field who are looking for a return to the winner’s circle in 2025, including Matt McCarty who earned a Three-Victory Promotion on the Korn Ferry Tour and captured the Black Desert Championship in just his third career TOUR start. Other names to look out for include Joel Dahmen, Aaron Rai, Emiliano Grillo, Erik van Rooyen and Kevin Yu.

This guy is one of the longest hitters in your. But, what a fantastic putter. Holy cow!
He was in the zone. So many long putts. But now he's got all the pressure. I hope he can keep it going!!!
Channel is becoming unwatchable you talk about shots and don’t show it 😮
Stupidity at it’s best
If this channel got a good editor forget about it , not only for us viewers but themselves financially.
Nice seeing a South African at the top of the board again. One of a few things to be proud about of this country
Looks like he ate 61 chocolate bars during the round
Big fellas got A nIcE mOvE
I was mad when you guys didn’t show one highlight of his from round 1. Well he has a full highlight now. Way to go AP
Well done young tiger
His swing is beautiful
Bro needs to start hitting the gym, how can you be so chunky at 20.
Could have been a 58 or 59 that round.
He’s an obvious talent and shot a good round on a very open course. Just don’t understand why you have to hit the ball so hard at any level. You try these tactics in a Major especially US Open tight fairways and you’ll miss the cut by a country mile. These top college coaches teach these young guys to hit it hard with ultimate swingspeed to acheive “tour” spec trajectory numbers and a certain ball flight dynamic which only pros can attain. It’s all completely bonkers and wrong. What’s wrong with swing smooth?
Need to learn how to say his name properly, not hard.
Aldrich Potgieter has absolutely everything:
Beautiful, rhythmic golf swing,
Effortless, awesome power and length off the tee, and approach shots,
Exquisite skills and touch on and around the greens,
Calm and focused demeanour on the golf course.
And INCREDIBLY, he’s only 20 years and 5 months of age, that is totally mind blowing!
Watching the flight of that ball at 7:47 is pure genius!
Ah May Zing!
PURE……..
looking forward to when they actually pronounce his name correctly. 🤣🤔🙄
What do you guys think of this course @PGA ???
Is that the tiger shark course right?
wow
Luke Littler of golf? 🤔
Damn he can putt
Crazy speed but the hands of an angel… Watch out
Wesley Bryan fuming right now at that 61 with no mulligans
