About two hours after the third round at the 2025 John Deere Classic, Aldrich Potgieter withdrew from the tournament, according to the PGA Tour.

As a grueling playoff unfolded in the Rocket Classic, South Africa's Aldrich Potgieter was determined to have enough pace on what became the final putt Sunday.

Potgieter carried a two-shot lead into the final round but bogeyed two of his first five holes to allow the pack to catch up.
