SENIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIP


April 19, 2026


Justin Hicks


Bradenton, Florida, USA

Press Conference

The Concession Golf Club


GEORGE SAVARICAS: We Justin Hicks in the booth with us making a memorable debut here at the Senior PGA Championship. Golf instructor at Stonebridge Golf & Country Club in Boca Raton. What was the week like for you as you're inside the top 20 now?

JUSTIN HICKS: Yeah, it was a really special week, one I'll remember I think forever. But luckily, I was a part of a couple of majors last year with the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, and then I qualified for the U.S. Open at 50.

So I think, you know, that kind of helped me deal I think a little bit more with this in a better way. I'm used to seeing a lot of rough in these majors, and this one this week, the challenge was totally different, so fast and firm.

PETER JACOBSEN: You started off with a couple of 69s to start, and you mentioned that you wanted everybody to know that, hey, we're working stiffs. We have a job. We usually work five, six, seven days a week.

JUSTIN HICKS: Yeah.

PETER JACOBSEN: This is your week off And you have a chance to come play.

JUSTIN HICKS: Yeah, I try to keep telling myself that I've got a steady paycheck back home for the most part. This is more about just having fun and having a week off of work, but I had to tell all my clients back home, hey, I'm going to be gone for a week here for lessons. Then I'm actually headed to the National Club Pro next week, so it's two weeks they're going to have to go without me.

PETER JACOBSEN: You're going to Bandon, aren't you?

JUSTIN HICKS: Yes, that's right, next week.

PETER JACOBSEN: That's my home state, the State of Oregon. Bandon Dunes, you've been there. You've played.

JUSTIN HICKS: Maybe you can warm it up a little bit for us. I think the highs are in the 50s.

PETER JACOBSEN: Yeah, the wind is going to blow a little bit too.

GEORGE SAVARICAS: You were top 10 there a year ago. Congratulations on being low member of the Corebridge Financial team. There is the hardware.

Justin Hicks 5-under for the week and 17th here in Bradenton, Florida.
