PGA Tour professional Jacob Bridgeman shared the details of his pre-round putting routine in a video with TaylorMade. Bridgeman, who led the tour with 63.585 total Strokes Gained: Putting, focuses primarily on start-line accuracy, distance control, and building confidence from close range rather than adjusting mechanical elements of his stroke.
