The PGA Tour announced a total purse of $6 million for the 2026 Butterfield Bermuda Championship, hosted at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda. As the fourth of eight FedExCup Fall tournaments, the event awards the winner a substantial share of the multi-million dollar payout while players fight for critical tour points.
The Port Royal Purse Structure and FedExCup Fall Stakes
As reported by the PGA Tour, the $6 million prize fund highlights the competitive pressure of the autumn schedule. Port Royal Golf Course hosts the tournament for the eighth time in its history. Perched high along the cliffs of Southampton Parish on Bermuda’s southwestern coast, the Robert Trent Jones Sr. design presents dramatic ocean vistas from nearly every hole.

According to Go To Bermuda, the Butterfield Bermuda Championship differs from large mainland PGA TOUR stops by hosting a cozy crowd of approximately 8,000 total attendees throughout the week, translating to roughly 1,500 to 2,000 visitors daily. Because of this smaller scale, fans enjoy exceptional closeness to the action, able to walk right alongside the fairway ropes near elite competitors without fighting through massive crowds or blocked views from giant grandstands.
Financial Breakdown Across the Leaderboard
The payout distribution scales significantly from the top-tier finishers down to the players making the weekend cut. According to the official PGA Tour breakdown, the winner’s share opens at $1,080,000, representing 18% of the total $6 million purse. The runner-up secures $654,000, while the third-place finisher claims $534,000.
| Position | Percentage (%) | Payout Amount (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| 3rd (Tied) | — | $534,000.00 |
| 4th (Tied) | — | $454,000.00 |
| 5th (Tied) | — | $402,000.00 |
The financial impact extends far beyond the podium spots. Players securing a finish inside the top 20 receive substantial earnings to bolster their season totals during the FedExCup Fall stretch. For instance, the 10th position yields $270,600, while a finish in the 20th position awards $79,500 before factoring in multi-way ties.
As the tournament concludes, the focus shifts entirely to how these financial distributions and FedExCup points reshape tour cards for the upcoming professional golf season.
