Only 20 years old, Aldrich Potgieter is already making millions. The young golfer from Pretoria, South Africa, has broken into the scene on the PGA Tour in an emphatic fashion. A year after he finished in the top 30 of the Korn Ferry Tour, he received his membership to play with Scottie Scheffler & Co. in 2025. And he has been on an impressive run so far, as he keeps on improving with every passing tournament.

While there is no question about his talent, it’s still incredible to see how much money he has made in his short stint on the Tour. So let’s narrow down how Alrich Potgieter has banked big paychecks from his efforts on the course.

During his 29th-place finish on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2024, the South African captured the The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic at The Abaco Club title by beating the field by 2 strokes. The last round 7-under 65 was the driving force behind his win as it propelled him 5 spots up the leaderboard to the top. That win alone got Potgieter a $180,000 paycheck. His total earnings from the KFT are $299,057.

Coming to the PGA Tour, the 20-year-old had a 64th-place finish in the 2023 U.S. Open. While unofficial, that added about $40,000 to his bank account. Officially, after 4 cuts made in 13 appearances, Alrich has had 2 top-10 finishes, which included a runner-up in the 2025 Mexico Open at VidantaWorld. He has earned another $1,222,266 through his efforts on the PGA Tour this season.

He is the brand ambassador of two of Summit’s brands, B. Draddy and Zero Restriction.
