A Star Is Born

The sports world, with its boom/bust duality, is less patient. Jacob Bridgeman had been considered a star-in-waiting since 2022 when, as a Clemson Tiger, he won the ACC Championship and finished second in the PGA TOUR University rankings. Bridgeman apprenticed for a year on the Korn Ferry Tour and then reached the bright lights of the PGA TOUR. He should have won last year at Tampa but, when he didn’t, the golf world quickly moved on to the next shiny object. For Bridgeman, 26, that tie for second changed something within him. “I think once that first [near-miss] happened I realized, Oh, it's not as hard as I thought it was going to be,” he says. “I kind of started running with it and started piecing some good rounds together. I realized it doesn't take four perfect rounds and 18 perfect holes to do that. I think that has kind of trended into maybe my goal [back then] was top-10, now my goal’s to win.”
