Jacob Bridgeman claimed his first PGA Tour title by winning the 2026 Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles. He finished at 18-under-par, just one shot ahead of Rory McIlroy and Kurt Kitayama.

“Scheffler’s career pace is faster than almost anyone in modern golf history.”

Scottie Scheffler continued his strong run on the PGA Tour by winning the 2026 American Express in La Quinta, California. He finished four strokes ahead of the field, marking his 20th PGA Tour victory. Scheffler made a key push on Sunday, scoring four birdies in six holes to secure the win.

His rapid rise in golf has drawn comparisons to Tiger Woods. Scheffler is now one of only three players in history to earn 20 PGA Tour wins and four major championships before age 30, alongside Woods and Jack Nicklaus. His pace to 20 wins — 151 starts — is faster than almost anyone in the modern era.

Scheffler’s consistency, early major victories, and dominance in tournaments keep fans talking about his potential place among golf’s all-time greats. Off the course, he has also surpassed $100 million in career PGA Tour earnings, joining an elite group of golfers.

With this victory, Scheffler enters the new season with confidence and continues to fuel discussions about a possible Tiger Woods–level career.
