Makena White wanted her “very private” romance with PGA Tour pro and boyfriend Jake Knapp to stay that way, but she ended up getting caught at the 2024 Mexico Open.
The girlfriend of golf pro Jake Knap recalled two past instances involving their relationship that she didn’t see coming, breaking down the unexpected experiences on her X account on Monday.
White’s confessions came in response to a prompt teed up by the PGA Tour’s official X account.
“Share a piece of golf lore about yourself,” read the post, which was alongside a black-and-white doodle of a person gazing at a golf ball.
“My (previously very private) relationship was hard launched on national television at the 2024 Mexico Open,” she began on X.
“A year later, I got outed playing hooky from work on a Thursday cause that same bf shot 59 & photos of us cellying were all over the internet.
“2 years of getting sewered.”
The 31-year-old Knapp earned his first PGA Tour victory as a rookie in February 2024 at the Mexico Open, where Makena White joined him on the course at Vidanta Vallarta for the sweet celebrations.
White and Knapp were linked in mid-2023.
White and Knapp had been dating for six months at the time. She flew in from Canada for the final round.
After Knapp won, the PGA Tour account on X posted a clip of Makena White’s reaction.
“This would be so sweet,” she said as Knapp prepared for his final putt.

Makena White has been seen at several other tournaments in support of Jake Knapp.
Knapp has been open about White on his Instagram since their relationship became public.
Makena has nearly 10,000 followers on X and another 11,000 on Instagram. Those numbers could surely be much higher if she did not have both of them set to private.
Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.
The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.
The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”
However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.
It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.
Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.
The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.
Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.
This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
