Jacob Bridgeman absolutely drilled an errant tee shot into a concessions tent selling pizza during Friday’s second round of the 2026 PGA Tour Championship. Talk about a wild way to start the 18th hole!
The Pizza Shot Heard ‘Round Atlanta
Yeah, you read that right: a pizza tent. His drive on the 18th went so far off course, it ended up serving up some unexpected toppings, according to the Golf Channel. What a story, right? But the fun didn’t stop there. After that insane shot, Bridgeman went on to miss a potential par putt, forcing him to settle for a bogey on No. 18. Ouch.
Dealing With the Wind and the Damage
Despite the pizza incident and the bogey, Bridgeman still managed to finish the day with a 3-under 67. He’s sitting at 5-under through two rounds in Atlanta. He told PGA Tour Live’s Katt Williams that some “sort of storm was blowing in there at the end and I had to deal with a little bit of wind.” Sounds like he battled through some gnarly conditions. He’s currently ranked T15, with Ryan Gerard and Viktor Hovland sharing the lead at 10-under.
From Genesis Champ to Pizza Tent Infamy
This guy isn’t just some rookie, either. Bridgeman snagged his first PGA Tour win earlier this year, claiming a one-shot victory at The Genesis Invitational back in February. So he knows how to close. Now, he heads into the weekend still in the mix, albeit a few shots back. Can he shake off that bizarre Friday finish and make a run for the lead? You know we’ll be watching every swing.
