2026 John Deere Classic<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PGA Tour<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TPC Deere Run<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Silvis, Illinois<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2-5 July 2026<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

World no. 27 Jacob Bridgeman is one of eight players ranked inside the top 50 competing at the John Deere Classic<\/a> from 2-5 July.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The American began making strides on the PGA Tour in 2025 after securing four top-10 finishes, including second place at the Cognizant Classic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Bridgeman would claim his maiden Tour success in February this year at the Genesis Invitational, carding an 18-under 266 to beat Kurt Kitayama and Rory McIlroy by one stroke.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The 26-year-old has already matched last season’s feat of four top 10s by also achieving a T4 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, a T8 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and a T5 at the Players Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Bridgeman made the cut in two of the three opening majors of 2026, with his best showing coming at the recent US Open when he placed T39.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The South Carolina native practices with two completely different putters, a blade and a spider, the latter which he uses in tournaments.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

“I have two different putters made in completely different ways. My gamer is a spider, super big, very forgiving. I can toe it, heel it, bottom it – it pretty much goes all the same.” Bridgeman said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

“A blade putter is less forgiving. If I hit it a couple of millimeters off centre I’m going to feel that. I’m going to know it’s going to go probably a little bit different. It’s just a lot harder to putt with.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

“I putted with a blade forever and when I turned pro I switched halfway through my rookie year. I was testing out putters and realised how easy it was to putt with something this big and more forgiving.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

“I pulled it out at the 3M Open last year and just putted amazing and I’ve had it in my bag ever since.”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
