Kipp Popert Completes Four‑Peat to Claim Fourth U.S. Adaptive Open Title

The streak highlights growing elite competition in adaptive golf as the USGA moves the championship to Sunriver for 2027–28.

Overview

  • Kipp Popert secured his fourth straight U.S. Adaptive Open on Wednesday with rounds of 68‑67‑63, finishing 18‑under 198 and winning by six strokes.
  • Popert’s final‑round 63 included 10 birdies and one bogey and capped a run that followed a 2025 season of multiple G4D Tour wins and a toe‑fusion surgery.
  • South Korea’s Simon Seungmin Lee closed with a 65 to finish second, and Seated champion Max Togisala tied his own event record and took the Seated title for the fourth time.
  • Kim Moore repeated as the top overall women’s player with three rounds of 76 to win by six shots, and category champions were named across Coordination, Intellectual, Vision, Limb and Seated divisions.
  • The USGA announced the Adaptive Open will move to Sunriver Resort near Bend, Oregon for 2027–28, a decision that tournament organizers and broadcasters say will raise the event’s profile and accessibility.
