Bridgeman's Clutch Putt Secures Maiden PGA Tour Title
23 Feb
Summary
- Jacob Bridgeman secured his first PGA Tour win at the Genesis Invitational.
- He won by a single shot after a nervy par putt on the 18th.
- Bridgeman, ranked outside the top 50, earned $4 million for the victory.

Jacob Bridgeman achieved his first PGA Tour victory at the Genesis Invitational, marking a significant breakthrough in his career. The 26-year-old from Clemson secured the win with a nervy par putt on the 18th hole, narrowly clinching a one-shot victory over notable competitors. This win propels him into the top 25 rankings and secures him $4 million in prize money.
Bridgeman, who entered the tournament ranked outside the top 50, displayed remarkable composure throughout the event. Despite leading by as many as seven shots, he faced increased pressure on the back nine, with other players making impressive runs. His victory is particularly noteworthy as he is the first player ranked outside the top 50 to win on the PGA Tour this year. He also achieved this feat at the historic Riviera course, a site where Adam Scott last won in his first appearance in 2005.
