Behind the Scenes: Jake Knapp's Historic 59 at Cognizant Classic | Behind the Round
Jake Knapp's historic 59 at the Cognizant Classic was made even more memorable by his girlfriend Makena White's eventful morning as a spectator. While Knapp was crafting one of only 15 sub-60 rounds in PGA Tour history, White experienced a series of misadventures, including sitting in gum while wearing a white dress and having her sunglasses stolen.
Despite her challenging morning, White stayed to witness her boyfriend's remarkable achievement. Her tweet timeline captured the contrast perfectly:
"10:08 EST Mak: sat in blue gum in white dress Jake: -8 thru 11"
Brooks Koepka showcased golf's enduring friendships by surprising Hideki Matsuyama with a birthday cake during a Srixon content shoot, demonstrating that the PGA Tour-LIV divide hasn't affected personal relationships between players.
The Finau family continues to charm the golf world with their infectious energy. While Tony Finau competed at TGL, his family of eight (including their newest addition) created an enthusiastic support video from home. Their genuine joy and mutual support - from Tony's on-course dancing to celebrating his daughter Layna's TikTok account recovery - exemplifies what makes them golf's most engaging family.
These moments remind us that beyond the competition, golf's human elements - from historic rounds to friendship and family - make the sport truly special.
