The 2016 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational was a professional golf tournament played June 30 – July 3 on the South Course of Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. It was the 18th WGC-Bridgestone Invitational tournament, and the third of the World Golf Championships events in 2016.

Because of the tournament's timing in the schedule running opposite of the Open de France, the European Tour did not co-sanction the tournament this year.

Dustin Johnson won his first WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and third WGC overall.[1]
