Aldrich Potgieter

21-Year-Old Golfer
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Potgieter was perhaps the most erratic golfer on the PGA Tour this past season. Potgieter posted a runner-up in Mexico in February, then a long dry spell until a T6 in late May, followed by an inexplicable win the next week. After that, another long dry spell that lasted through the end of the season. In total, it was three top-10s and the one win, which vaulted him into the top 60 on the money list at year's end. Potgieter is just 21-years-old, and he came out of nowhere in 2025, so there's a lot to learn about him in the coming years. Potgieter's ceiling could be much higher than what we saw this past year, but his lack of consistency is a little concerning. As such, it's best to take a wait and see approach with him this season, especially in salary cap leagues. Read Past Outlooks
Top-15 at Cadillac Championship
May 3, 2026
Potgieter registered a four-under 68 in the final round of the Cadillac Championship to finish in a four-way tie for 14th.
ANALYSIS
Potgieter saved his best round of the tournament for last, and his back-to-back birdies on the 71st and 72nd holes were enough for the 21-year-old South African to finish in the top-15 for the second time this season. Unsurprisingly, Potgieter led the field in Miami in driving distance while ranking T11 in birdies made, 15th in SG: Approach and 25th in both SG: Off-the-Tee and Putting. He will tee off at the Truist Championship next week.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
The South African becomes a PGA Tour rookie at just 20 years old, having won the Korn Ferry Tour's Great Abaco Classic as a 19-year-old back in January of 2024 before ultimatley finishing the KFT season with three top-10s and five top-25s. Potgieter paced the entire KFT in driving distance while ranking fourth in total eagles, though he needs to make improvements with his short game in order to find similar success at the next level.
