The year’s second PGA Tour Signature Event concludes on Sunday — and with it, a boatload of money will be distributed to the top finishers.
For 54-hole leader Jacob Bridgeman, it could be a significant day indeed. The 26-year-old fired back-to-back rounds of 64 at beastly Riviera on Friday and Saturday to open up a six-shot lead. The Clemson alum has never won on the PGA Tour, but kicked his game into gear last year, when he posted nine top-25 finishes in 30 events.
Now, Bridgeman is on the cusp of his first Tour victory — but he’ll have to contend with a formidable adversary first.
Bridgeman will play alongside his closest competitor in Sunday’s final pairing: Rory McIlroy, World No. 2, newly-minted career grand-slam winner and owner of 29 PGA Tour victories.
“I know he’s going to play well tomorrow,” Bridgeman said of McIlroy after his round on Saturday. “I know that I can’t back up at all. But I think I feel comfortable.”
In addition to a legacy-building win at Riv, there’s also a sweet payday up for grabs. Bridgeman has earned $6.9 million in 65 career events thus far. On Sunday, he’ll have a chance to take home a winner’s check worth a whopping $4 million from a $20 million purse. Second place will receive $2.2 million, with seven figures being awarded all the way down to fourth place.
