The week turned into a classic Detroit birdie chase, with low numbers all over the board and the final round tightening into one of the longest, most dramatic playoffs of the PGA Tour season. Potgieter showed his power early in the week with a course-record 62, then stayed in the fight as Max Greyserman, Chris Kirk, and other challengers pushed the lead deep under par. After 72 holes, Potgieter, Greyserman, and Kirk finished tied at 22-under, forcing a playoff that kept stretching across Detroit Golf Club as chances came and went. Kirk dropped out after the second extra hole, leaving Potgieter and Greyserman to settle it head-to-head. The deciding moment finally came on the fifth playoff hole, when Potgieter rolled in an 18-foot birdie putt to win his first PGA Tour title and become the Rocket Classic’s latest young breakout champion. This recap sets the stage for the 2026 Rocket Classic, where aggressive driving, wedge control, confident putting, and smart decisions on Detroit Golf Club’s Donald Ross greens should again decide who survives a low-scoring Motor City shootout.
