PXG means business in 2026 as brand snaps up yet another rising PGA Tour star

PXG has confirmed the signing of 2025 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year Aldrich Potgieter.

The news comes just days after the brand also snapped up the services of big-hitting Englishman Marco Penge.

Potgieter, 21, delivered one of the most impactful rookie campaigns in recent memory, earning Rookie of the Year honours through a season defined by speed, composure, and an ability to contend early and often. 

The South African's signing underscores PXG’s continued investment in players shaping the future of the PGA Tour.

“Aldrich didn’t just have a good rookie year – he set a standard,” said Bob Parsons, Founder and CEO of PXG. 

“He’s disciplined, powerful, and knows what he wants out of his equipment. That clarity and competitiveness make him a great fit for PXG as he takes the next step in his career.”

As a veteran-founded company built around engineering, customization, and performance validation, PXG partners with athletes who value trust, feedback, and measurable results.  

Potgieter will play PXG clubs across the bag and sport the latest PXG Tour Apparel. 

“Last season showed me what it takes to compete out here,” said Potgieter.

“I’m focused on getting better every week, and PXG gives me the tools and support to do that. The equipment performs, the process is straightforward, and that’s exactly what I’m looking for.”

One of the new clubs in Potgieter's bag is the PXG Ligntning Driver, which GolfMagic Equipment Editor Georgina Black recently tested out. 

Potgieter joins PXG just days after Penge also made the move.

Potgieter was previously with Titleist, with Penge at Mizuno. 

Both players reportedly rejected big offers to join LIV Golf in order to pursue their PGA Tour dreams. 

Penge and Potgieter are two of the biggest hitters in world golf right now.
