Jake Knapp's girlfriend Makena White recalls how ‘very private' relationship got exposed on PGA Tour
Makena White had no intention of exposing her 'very private' romance with PGA Tour pro and boyfriend Jake Knapp at the 2024 Mexico Open. Life, however, had other plans. White took a stroll down memory lane Monday after the PGA Tour's official X account asked its three million followers to 'share a piece of golf lore about yourself,' prompting Knapp's biggest supporter to peel back the curtain on her personal life. 4 Jake Knapp with girlfriend Makena White during the Cognizant Classic in February 2025. PGA TOUR 4 The PGA Tour pro shot a 59 at PGA National earlier this year. Getty Images 'My (previously very private) relationship was hard launched on national television at the 2024 Mexico Open,' she began on X. 'A year later I got outed playing hooky from work on a Thursday cause that same bf shot 59 & photos of us cellying were all over the internet. '2 years of getting sewered.' 4 Jake Knapp celebrated his first PGA Tour victory with Makena White in February 2024 at the Mexico Open. Getty Images Knapp, 31, earned his first PGA Tour victory as a rookie in February 2024 at the Mexico Open, where White joined him on the course at Vidanta Vallarta for the sweet celebrations that were immortalized on social media. White and Knapp had been dating for six months at the time. She flew in from Canada for the final round after the golfer's unexpected rise to the top of the leaderboard. As Knapp has become a steady contender on tour in the year-and-half since, White has frequently been by his side. A year later, the California native shot a bogey-free 59 in the opening round of the Cognizant Classic at PGA National, joining the exclusive sub-60 club with White in attendance. 4 Jake Knapp finished tied for third at the 3M Open in July 2025. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect When an X user asked White if she was 'upset' over the media fallout of Knapp's triumphs, she replied, 'I'm not mad at another I was simply telling a story.' Currently ranked 77th in the world, Knapp is coming off a top-three finish at last weekend's 3M Open, where he tied for third at 20-under par, three strokes behind winner Kurt Kitayama at 23-under. Knapp will be in the field at the upcoming Wyndham Championship, which tees off Thursday. He turned pro in 2016.

Wyndham Championship 2025: Odds, favorites, picks for the Tour's regular-season finale
Rex Hoggard and Ryan Lavner discuss which bubble golfers have their attention at the Wyndham Championship, with hopes of entering the Top 70 in FedExCup points and qualifying for the playoffs. The PGA Tour concludes its regular season this week at the Wyndham Championship, where players are vying for more than just a title. But winning is the name of the game, and betting expert Brad Thomas offers his insight: Jake Knapp, to win (+4000) and top 20 (+180) Jake Knapp's profile probably best suits a course where players can just bomb and gouge their way around. However, it would be foolish not to go back to Knapp after his performance at the 3M Open, where he finished tied for third. Knapp was again a big gainer on the greens, where he picked up 3.3 strokes to the field in putting, marking four straight tournaments where he's gained strokes on the greens. Knapp's sometimes erratic driver shouldn't hurt him at Sedgefield. With only three or four holes where the long-drive reward is higher than the missed-fairway penalty, there will be quite a few holes where clubbing down is necessary. Conservatively, there are around seven holes where less than driver will be beneficial. For Knapp, hitting mini driver or 3-wood is just as long as a driver for many in the field. With a tighter shot dispersion, Knapp should be longer yet still in the short grass. After four straight top-25 finishes and two weeks in contention, Knapp's price provides a ton of value. Wyndham Championship odds (as of Wednesday, courtesy DraftKings) Matt Fitzpatrick: +2000 Ben Griffin: +2500 Keegan Bradley: +2500 Aaron Rai: +2800 Jordan Spieth: +3000 Hideki Matsuyama: +3000 Robert MacIntyre: +3000 Akshay Bhatia: +3500 Si Woo Kim: +3500 Lucas Glover + 3500 Jake Knapp: +4000 Harry Hall: +4000 J.T.
