Potgeiter is one of seven Sun Belt Conference golfers selected to play in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships. He will make his second appearance in the NCAA postseason. The Ragin’ Cajuns junior was seeded as the top individual among the five players selected, which included South Alabama’s Hugo Thyr and Louisiana Tech’s Niilo Maki-Petaja.
The 2025 All-Sun Belt Conference First Team honoree posted a team-low scoring average of 70.76 in 33 rounds of play during the 2024-25 campaign. Potgieter appeared in all 11 events for Louisiana with six top-5 finishes, seven top-10’s and 10 top-20 performances.
Potgieter recorded scores in 23 of his 33 rounds at par or below, with eight rounds in the 60’s. He recorded Top-3 finishes in his last four events of the season, beginning with medalist honors at the 40th Annual Louisiana Classics (71-65-71-207) and becoming the first Ragin’ Cajuns golfer in the history of the tournament to claim top honors.
His 7-under-65 in the second round of the Louisiana Classics tied for the fifth-lowest in tournament history. Potgieter finished in a tie for third at both the Old Corkscrew Intercollegiate (71-73-70-214) and the Sun Belt Conference Championships (70-71-70-211).
