Jacob Bridgeman speaks in the full winner’s press conference after capturing his first PGA Tour victory at the 2026 Genesis Invitational at Riviera.

In this champion press conference, Bridgeman reflects on what it felt like to close out a big lead, how the pressure built late in the round, and what was going through his mind on the final hole when he needed a two-putt to win.

He also talks about competing at Tiger Woods’ tournament, why that made the moment even more special, and what Tiger said to him after the victory.

Bridgeman gives great insight into his mindset under pressure, his approach to leaderboard watching, the nerves on Riviera’s poa annua greens, and how he managed the difficult bunker shots on 16 and 17.

He also discusses his caddie, the long-term work with his coach on iron play, what this win means for his confidence, and how it changes his outlook heading into the rest of the season — including his first Masters.

If you follow PGA Tour, Riviera, Tiger Woods, and rising stars like Jacob Bridgeman, this is a must-watch winner’s press conference.
