Turquoise Waters, High Stakes: A Preview of the 2026 Butterfield Bermuda Championship
The PGA Tour is trading the autumn chill for island breezes as the FedExCup Fall schedule moves to Southampton Parish for the 2026 Butterfield Bermuda Championship. Taking place from 22–25 October, the tournament returns to the legendary, oceanfront Port Royal Golf Course, where breathtaking Atlantic views meet high-stakes professional drama.
With a massive $6,000,000 purse on the line, players are competing for much more than just a trophy. The tournament serves as a critical battleground for professional golfers looking to secure their PGA Tour priority rankings, lock up tournament exemptions for the upcoming season, and chase crucial FedExCup points.
Defending the Crown at Port Royal
Designed by legendary architect Robert Trent Jones, the par-71 Port Royal Golf Course is famous for its demanding layouts and unpredictable coastal winds. The signature 16th hole—a dramatic par-3 requiring a precise tee shot directly over the crashing ocean waves—promises to be a pivotal make-or-break moment for the field.
Defending champion Adam Schenk faces a stellar field of hungry contenders ready to conquer the island breeze. Fans can also look forward to cheering on local Bermudian qualifiers who have successfully earned their spots to compete against the world’s best on home soil.
