All Square 3 min read • 22 Apr

In a dramatic finish at the 2025 Corales Puntacana Championship, Garrick Higgo seized his second PGA Tour victory, capitalising on a late collapse by leader Joel Dahmen to claim the title at Puntacana Resort & Club. The 25-year-old South African, wielding a trusted Titleist-heavy setup — including a GT2 driver and T100 irons — navigated the windy Corales Golf Course with precision, posting an even-par 72 in the final round to finish at 14-under 274. His clutch par on the 18th, coupled with Dahmen’s heartbreaking bogeys on the final three holes, sealed a one-stroke victory, marking a pivotal moment for the young left-hander. This win, Higgo’s first since the 2021 Palmetto Championship, underscores his resilience and growing prowess on the global stage.

Higgo’s journey to this triumph has been one of promise and perseverance. Turning pro in 2019 after a standout amateur career at UNLV, he quickly made waves, securing three European Tour wins in 2021, including the Canary Islands Championship. His maiden PGA Tour victory at the Palmetto Championship that same year announced his arrival, but the road since has tested his mettle with inconsistent results. The Corales victory, earned through a blend of steady ball-striking and mental fortitude, signals a resurgence for Garrick Higgo, whose elegant swing and understated demeanor continue to draw admiration. As we dive into the specifics of his winning bag, let’s celebrate a performance that reaffirms his potential as a future star.
