Watch: PGA Tour posts throwback video of Jake Knapp’s wild celebration after getting Tour bound

Jake Knapp shot an even-par 71 on Sunday (February 25) but overall aggregated at 19-under to win the 2024 Mexico Open at Vidanta, beating Sami Valimaki by two shots. This was his only fifth start on the PGA Tour since getting the card and ninth overall.

Knapp earned the PGA Tour card last year after finishing 13th on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List for the 2022–23 season. He had also made a joint 10th finish at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship, following which he was one of the 30 players to get the Tour membership for this year.

On Sunday, the PGA Tour shared a throwback video on X (formerly Twitter) where the 29-year-old Californian golfer can be seen celebrating the tour call with other players. In the clip, he is sporting the NHL's Anaheim Ducks jersey as he is seen shotgunning the beer after getting Tour-bound.

Last year, Knapp was not even a PGA Tour member, and now he will play at all the remaining Signature Events. Besides, he has also earned an invitation to the upcoming Masters Tournament and the PGA Championship.
