Surges to top-20 at THE CJ CUP Higgo posted an eight-under 63 in the final round of THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson to finish tied for 19th.

Impact Higgo barely made the six-under cut line and made the biggest move up the leaderboard Sunday, jumping 44 spots into the top-20. He finished the tournament in the top-25 in birdies made, driving distance, SG: Off-the-Tee and SG: Putting. It was Higgo's first top-20 finish of the season and a nice bounce-back from his missed cut at the PGA Championship. He'll tee off at the Charles Schwab Challenge this week, where he's failed to make the cut in all three of his previous outings.

Costly penalty at PGA Championship Higgo missed the cut by one stroke at the PGA Championship after posting a five-over cumulative score through the first two rounds of the tournament.

Impact Higgo was on the back foot before teeing off on the first hole of the first round after he was assessed a two-stroke penalty for missing his tee time. He ended up finishing the round with a one-under 69 score, but the penalty proved to be costly after the South African posted a six-over 76 second round, which included six bogeys in an eight-hole span. Higgo has missed the cut in eight of 13 tournaments this season, with his T40 at the Cognizant Classic in February being his best finish of 2026. He's in the field for THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, where he finished T30-MC in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

T52 at RBC Heritage Higgo fired a five-under 66 on Sunday at the RBC Heritage to finish five-under and tied for 52nd.

Impact Higgo holed nearly 127 feet of putts during Sunday's final round at Harbour Town, where he ultimately ranked top-15 among the field in both SG: Approach and overall proximity for the week. However, he remains outside of the top 150 in the early FedExCup standings, and the South African has now lost strokes from tee to green in five consecutive starts dating back to THE PLAYERS Championship. Higgo will peg it again this week at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, pairing with Matt Kuchar.

T74 in GIR at AT&T Pro-Am Higgo closed with a two-under 70 on Sunday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am to finish five-under and tied for 60th.

Impact Higgo managed to break par in all four of his rounds at the season's first Signature Event this past week, though he ranked just T74 among the field in GIR percentage and 68th in SG: Tee-to-Green. The 26-year-old South African has now lost a collective 11 strokes on approach through his first three starts of the 2026 campaign, placing T60-MC-MC since the Farmers Insurance Open. Nonetheless, Higgo will peg it again this week at Riviera for his Genesis Invitational debut.

Misses cut in 2026 debut Higgo recorded a 36-hole score of three-over-par to miss the cut at last week's Farmers Insurance Open by six shots.

Impact Higgo, who placed T7-2-T4-T4 from the Procore Championship to the WWT Championship during the FedExCup Fall, was unable to carry that momentum through his 2026 debut as he hit just nine of 28 fairways in regulation en route to eight total bogeys at Torrey Pines. The 26-year-old South African also lost three strokes putting throughout his lone round on the South Course. Nonetheless, Higgo plans to tee it up again this week at the WM Phoenix Open where he's notched one top-25 in three career appearances.

Win slips away on back-nine Higgo had to settle for a share of fourth place after shooting a four-under 68 in the final round of the World Wide Technology Championship.

Impact It looked like Sunday was going to be Higgo's day, but everything came crashing down at the par-4 12th hole when he got stuck in the native area and ended up carding a double-bogey. Giving away multiple shots on one hole is never good, but it's especially difficult to overcome on a week like this where the winning score was nearly 30-under. Higgo had to settle for a T4, but he will be disappointed not to have career win No. 3 on the PGA Tour, and his second on the year (Corales Puntacana Championship). Higgo has been arguably the best player in the fall portion of the schedule will now four straight finishes of T7-or-better. He is now up to 52nd in the FedExCup Fall standings, and will make the first two signature events in 2026 via the Aon Next 10. Higgo will not be in the field for next week's Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
