I have a possible solution for you, but unfortunately there is not a 2 inch receiver available for the 2017 Volkswagen Golf.
You have the option of using a hitch expander like the Brophy 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch expander, part # HTAD, but this will reduce the available tongue weight by 50 percent, possibly rendering the rack unusable.
