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.

Philip Knowles soars with eagles to share Rocket Classic lead
Andrew Putnam of the United States plays his shot from the 12th tee during the second round of the Rocket Classic. PHOTO: AFP WASHINGTON – Philip Knowles said he was lucky with his three eagles, as he grabbed a share of the lead with Chris Kirk and Andrew Putnam after the second round of the PGA Tour's Rocket Classic on June 27. Knowles, ranked 519th in the world, fired an eight-under 64 to match Kirk and Putnam on 14-under 130 for 36 holes at Detroit Golf Club. 'I got pretty lucky a couple times,' he said. 'I hit quality shots that ended up going in the hole, but I can't imagine chipping in three times for eagle ever again in my life.' Back-nine starter Knowles, on a medical exemption after thumb and eye injuries the past two years, seeks his first PGA title after making the cut only twice in 11 prior starts this season. 'It has not been my best year thus far by any stretch of the imagination, but golf is funny,' he added. 'When you're playing bad, you never feel like you're going to play good again, and when you have days like today, you just don't understand how you could ever shoot a bad round of golf. 'So it was super rewarding.' Knowles made his first eagle at the par-five 17th, when he rolled in an 81-foot chip from the fringe. At the par-five fourth, he chipped in from the fairway from 37 yards and, three holes later on another par-five, he chipped in from the left rough from 40 yards. 'That was surreal,' he said. Putnam, who shot 66, birdied three of the first four holes then eagled the par-five seventh on an 88-foot chip-in from the fairway and got up and down from a bunker at 14 in his bogey-free round. 'It didn't feel like bogey free,' he said. 'It felt like I was kind of all over the place on the back nine, but the front nine was pretty simple golf. Wind came up, got a couple tricky holes out there, so glad I could grind it out.' Kirk fired a 65, opening with three consecutive birdies and closing with back-to-back birdies. 'Dream start for sure,' he said. 'Back nine was a little bit more hit and miss... But I was in a really good rhythm. Proud of the way I hung in there and kept hitting good shots.' Jackson Suber was fourth on 131 with Mark Hubbard, Michael Thorbjornsen and Aldrich Potgieter on 132. Jake Knapp fired a course-record 61 to stand on 133, breaking the mark of 62 set a day earlier by Kevin Roy and Potgieter. It was the second course record of the season by Knapp, who fired a 59 at PGA National in the Cognizant Classic. AFP Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.
