Rookie Golfer Jake Knapp Breaks Through on the PGA TOUR & Secures Coveted Spot in The Masters with Sunday Win
Scottsdale, AZ – (February 26, 2024) – PXG PGA TOUR Rookie Jake Knapp claimed his first PGA Tour victory at the Mexico Open following an impressive birdie run on Saturday and a solid Sunday finish. Knapp went into the final round with a four-stroke lead and rallied on the back nine to finish at 19-under for the week.
After sinking the winning putt, Knapp said, “It has always been my dream to win on the PGA TOUR. I am grateful that PXG believed I could get it done and am proud to bring one home for the PXG Troops.”
PXG Founder and CEO Bob Parsons quickly praised Knapp for his grit and outstanding performance throughout the week. “Jake has been a true ambassador for PXG, and we couldn’t be more proud of him,” Parsons said. “His determination, focus, and dedication to the game inspire us all. Congratulations, Jake!”
The victory was a significant milestone for Knapp, who was doubling as a bouncer just three years ago to make ends meet. After turning pro in 2016, Knapp played on the Canadian Tour and the Korn Ferry Tour, tirelessly working to improve his game and achieve his goals. Last year, after joining PXG’s professional staff, he finished high enough on the points list to officially earn his PGA TOUR card, and since then, Knapp hasn’t looked back. Sunday’s career-changing moment proved that you can reach the top of the mountain with hard work. The win also cemented Knapp’s spot in The Masters.
