Jacob Bridgeman In For Adventure At Port Royal Golf Course
5 months agoJacob Bridgeman has been playing well for the most part lately. The American golfer can toss the second round 79 out at the Procore Championship in September. Those things happen. Anyway, Bridgeman has five Top 30 results in his past seven events. That includes several three near misses when it comes to a first career Top 10. 2024 has been very interesting for the 24-year-old. Bridgeman putts very well and ranks sixth overall on tour in strokes gained to putting (0.587). He ranks inside the Top 40 in putts per round in every round except the dreaded final round (134th). The key for Bridgeman will be keeping balls on the course. If he does that, Bridgeman makes for a reasonable DFS option in Bermuda.

Use Caution For Jacob Bridgeman At TPC Sawgrass
3 weeks agoJacob Bridgeman is riding a hot streak in his last two events. He finished tied for second in the Cognizant Classic and T-15 in the Arnold Palmer Invitational this past weekend. It's safe to say Florida is treating the 25-year-old very nicely. However, his game may not suit the TPC Sawgrass stadium course. His accuracy off the tee and average iron play may not play well in this week's event. He ranks 101st in driving accuracy, 174th in approach from 100-125 yards, and 173rd in approach from 125-150. He will more than likely be a hot pick this week with his recent play, but don't be surprised if he falls short and misses the cut. Try to avoid him in DFS formats this week.

Jacob Bridgeman Looking To Build Off Momentum At Arnold Palmer Invitational
4 weeks agoWhile Jacob Bridgeman had an outstanding performance at the Cognizant Classic this past week, the Arnold Palmer presents an entirely different test. With a 7,460-yard layout at Bay Hill, players will be tested on keeping the ball in the fairway and playing long irons. Bridgeman has struggled driving the ball this year, ranking 148th on tour. However, he makes up for this with his approach, putting, and scrambling abilities, where he ranks 70th, 15th, and 14th. He has also faired well at Par 5s, ranking 44th in Par 5 scoring average. With four of those at Bay Hill, it's not farfetched to assume he can post good scores on those holes. He's not a surefire start, but he's an interesting player in DFS formats this week.

Jacob Bridgeman Making Debut At Sony Open
1 year agoJacob Bridgeman will make his first appearance at the Sony Open this week. He closed out the 2023 Korn Ferry Tour season with four straight top-20 finishes including one top-five finish. Bridgeman finished strong at the end of last season and will look to continue building on that strong finish and get his 2024 PGA Tour season started on the right foot. Bridgeman comes with considerable risk for DFS lineups.
