    He had to hold on and hold off a couple of charges from the pack, but Jacob Bridgeman had just enough to win the Genesis Invitational against a stacked field that included runner-up and final-round playing companion Rory McIlroy.

    Despite a pedestrian final round (72), Bridgeman’s body of work for the week was top shelf, particularly his approach game and putting. Into the greens he ranked first in strokes gained/approach the green, picking up more than five shots on the field while also topping the greens in regulation stat.

    Bridgeman has a split set of TaylorMade irons, using the P770 model for his 5-iron and the P7CB irons for the rest of his set. TaylorMade senior tour rep Nick Springer explains the thinking.

    “Jacob was a blade guy his entire life until the end of 2024 when he switched into the P7CB,” Springer said. “He liked the clean look from address and slightly higher launch with a cavity back iron. The biggest selling point though was the soft feel and better turf interaction than his blades. The 770 5-iron was added to his bag simply find a 5-iron that launched higher and landed softer into long par 3s and par 5s. He found the 770 to be a versatile club that he could flight when he needed to. We originally bent his irons weak late last year to get more spin. Once he switched to the new TP5x golf ball he is playing, he saw a slight increase in spin and was able to go back to a standard loft iron set up.”

    For average to above-average swing speeds (even tour players), the standard model provides the most efficient shaping, the fastest face, and the broadest range of lofts to fit more types of golfers and ability levels. A larger lightweight carbon-composite crown helps to shift the center of gravity lower for easier, higher launch with low spin. The relatively shallower face features refined variable thickness to improve flexibility for on- and off-center hits. The lower rear skirt also helps to lower the center of gravity for easier launch and efficient spin. The sole channel, which helps the face flex on lower impacts, now extends farther toward the toe for even more speed on toe-side strikes. The stock lie angle is flatter and the face angle is slightly more open than in past models to promote confidence at address and enhance directional control. New sole shaping allows the club to move more cleanly through the ground, and additional crown curvature helps impacts launch high with less spin. The adjustable hosel tweaks loft by plus/minus 2 degrees, extending the overall loft range of the line from 13 to 26 degrees. An additional weight kit provides a range of options to increase or decrease the swingweight based on player-fitting preferences.

    Bridgeman also made two changes at the top of his bag this week. He put a 16.5-degree Qi4D HL 3-wood in the bag and adjusted it to 15.5 degrees. He felt the 3-wood gave him more versatility and was easier to hit off the deck into some of the long par 3s at Riviera. He also felt it was a better option for him on the 10th hole for the number and shot shape that hole demanded.

    He also replaced his TaylorMade Stealth 7-wood with a Qi4D 7-wood. The weight set up of the build of his 7-wood produced a lower spin rate than his previous gamer which is something he felt he was missing.

    It was on the greens, however, where Bridgeman shined, ranking first in strokes gained/putting, picking up more than seven shots on the field while also ranking first in putts per green in regulation—not easy to do when you hit more greens than anyone else.

    Bridgeman’s putter is a TaylorMade Spider Tour X mallet (Spider has won five of the six PGA Tour events played so far) with 2.5 degrees of loft and a length of 33.75 inches with a SuperStroke 2.0 PT grip. According to TaylorMade, Bridgeman likes to feel a nice arc at release with his putter and does a lot of practice with a blade to feel that. The Spider Tour short slant has less toe hang, but with the back CG it feels very similar to him as a blade. The mallet gives him more forgiveness and consistency with launch. He likes the clean Spider Tour top with just a single dot that he Sharpies on.

    After his win, he’s probably going to need that Sharpie for a few autographs as well.
