South African power hitter Aldrich Potgieter has signed with PXG as the American brand continues to expand its presence on the PGA Tour.
The 21-year-old, who claimed his maiden PGA Tour title at last year’s Rocket Classic, has quickly built a reputation as one of the longest drivers in the game. After topping the PGA Tour’s driving distance rankings for the 2025 season, Potgieter now joins a PXG stable that has leaned heavily into elite ball speed and aggressive performance.
Bob Parsons, PXG’s founder and CEO, said Potgieter’s impact in his rookie season stood out well beyond raw power.
“Aldrich didn’t just have a good rookie year – he set a standard,” Parsons said. “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.”
Potgieter averaged an imposing 325 yards off the tee during the 2025 PGA Tour season and had previously played a full Titleist setup. However, signs of a potential equipment switch emerged late last year when he was spotted testing PXG gear at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, including a mini driver and utility iron.
That transition has now been formalised. Potgieter will put a full PXG bag into play, led by the Lightning Tour Driver and Secret Weapon Mini Driver, alongside the 0311 X GEN8 Driving Iron.
His iron setup will include the 0311 T GEN8 4-iron, 0317 ST irons from 5-iron to 9-iron, Sugar Daddy III wedges in 46° and 60°, and the Brandon Tour putter.
