Brian Campbell secures first PGA Tour title in Mexico playoff

Brian Campbell secured his first PGA Tour title at the Mexico Open, triumphing over Aldrich Potgieter in a dramatic playoff on February 23. After finishing regulation tied at 20-under 264, both players parred the first playoff hole before Campbell birdied the second, sealing his victory. Campbell, who previously struggled to win despite 187 starts on the PGA and Korn Ferry tours, credited his luck when an errant tee shot ricocheted back into play during the playoff. Potgieter, who had led the final round, faltered with a 1-under 71, missing key putts that cost him the win. Campbell's victory also marked him as the second first-time winner of the 2025 season, earning a $1,260,000 payout from the event's purse. This win places him among an exclusive group of players who have achieved their maiden victory at the Mexico Open.
