Overview
- PGA TOUR Communications said Potgieter withdrew before round two on Oct. 24 after an opening 71 at Black Desert Resort Golf Course in Ivins, Utah.
- Potgieter wrote on Instagram that he had “pretty bad food poisoning (or a stomach bug)” and added that it was nothing serious and he just needed rest.
- He is 52nd in the FedExCup Fall standings, where Nos. 51–60 earn 2026 spots in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro‑Am and Genesis Invitational, making the timing notable.
- Sports Business Journal reported he will leave GSE Worldwide for Entertainment Sports Partners in January 2026, with sources saying the switch makes a LIV move less likely given ESP’s ties to Ernie Els, a vocal LIV critic.
- Despite ongoing LIV recruitment talk and roster churn for 2026, there is no confirmed agreement linking Potgieter to LIV Golf.
