2026 Fantasy Outlook
Bridgeman got about as much out of his season as he possibly could have. While he didn't play well that often, the 26-year-old certainly took advantage of the weeks everything was clicking with four top-5 finishes. The ball striking was very inconsistent ranking outside the top 120 on Tour in both SG: Off-the-Tee and SG: Approach. The putter saved him more often than not, however, as he was top 20 in SG: Putting. The short game was also pretty reliable as well, especially over the second half of the year. Bridgeman's floor is quite low going into 2026 given how much pressure he puts on the putter. Unless the ball striking takes a sizable leap, it's very unlikely Bridgeman is able to clear $4 million again on the PGA Tour. Read Past Outlooks
Victorious at The Genesis
Bridgeman posted an 18-under cumulative score at The Genesis Invitational to capture the victory by one stroke over Kurt Kitayama and Rory McIlroy.
ANALYSIS
The Genesis looked to be Bridgeman's tournament to lose after he went 19-under through the first three rounds to enter Sunday with a commanding six-stroke lead. Bridgeman started the final round nicely with two birdies over the first three holes before logging bogeys on the fourth and seventh, and he saw his large lead steadily decline as the day went on. Fortunately, the cushion he built for himself over the first three days of the signature event was enough to stave off late surges from Kitayama and McIlroy, as Bridgeman's two-putt par on the par-4 18th resulted in a one-over 72 final round to give the 26-year-old his first PGA Tour victory. It's been a great start to the 2026 season for Bridgeman, who has finished in the top-20 in each of his five Tour outings (including three top-10s). He'll be in the field next week for the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Bridgeman was one of the best putters on Tour in 2024 ranking top-10 in strokes gained on the greens. He also was inside the top-65 of GIR percentage and SG: Around-the-Green. Like a lot of other players towards his side of the membership, not being able to get into Signature Events does limit his upside in salary cap leagues, but there are certainly signs that Bridgeman is capable of making the FedExCup playoffs and maybe even the top-50 in 2025. His top-five ranking in par-4 scoring gives a pretty good indication of his ability.
