Professional golfer and PGA Tour winner Jake Knapp is speaking out for the first time since his girlfriend Makena White died at the age of 28.
In a statement to People, Knapp paid tribute to his girlfriend of two years.
“Makena was such a thoughtful person whose selflessness toward others is something I will always appreciate," the statement read. "We shared so many unforgettable memories together and now that she’s no longer with us, it’s a tough reality to comprehend. She had an incredible family, great friends, and her fun, outgoing energy will be missed by all of us. It’s an understatement to say how hard all of this is to process for everyone who knew Mak, especially her family and friends, who deserve privacy and respect during this difficult time.”
White's death was first announced on Friday, Sept. 26 by a friend via an Instagram post on White's account.
“Hi everyone – this is Makena’s friend, writing with the heaviest heart to share that Makena passed away earlier this week. She is already so deeply missed by her Dad, her family, her friends, and of course by Nelly and Fergie,” the post began.
“Makena was one of a kind. She had this rare way of making you feel special, and her huge heart was always overflowing with love,” it continued. “To be loved by Makena was a gift; one that came with endless laughter, so much joy, and a healthy sprinkling of chaos as we tried to keep up with her travel schedule.”
The friend encouraged followers to honor White by donating to Bruyère Brain Health & Memory Clinic or the Griffin Bell Endowment Fund.
White’s mother Crystal started going to the Bruyère Brain Health & Memory Clinic in 2018 and was eventually diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. The Griffin Bell Endowment Fund was created by Tamy and Evan Bell to honor their son who passed away from cancer in 2024.
“We love you Mak. We’ll miss you always, and we’ll be looking for you in the sunset?,” the post concluded.
White’s cause of death is unconfirmed.
