Fantasy & Market Impact

  • Adam Schenk returns as the defending champion, carrying high expectations on the PGA Tour FedExCup Fall schedule.
  • The $6 million purse and 500 FedExCup points draw a competitive 120-player field seeking crucial positioning.

The race to secure a 2027 PGA Tour card moves to Southampton, Bermuda, next week for the fourth event on the fall schedule. According to the PGA Tour communications team, the Butterfield Bermuda Championship marks its eighth playing at Port Royal Golf Course, offering a $6 million purse and 500 FedExCup points to the winner.

Tournament week officially begins on October 19, preceding the four days of competition from October 22 to 25. The schedule shifts slightly following the cancellation of the Good Good Championship week, which left an open slot on the PGA Tour calendar.

Five past champions anchor the 120-player field in Bermuda. Brendon Todd won the event in 2019, Seamus Power claimed victory in 2022, Camilo Villegas triumphed in 2023, Rafa Campos took the title in 2024, and Adam Schenk enters as the reigning champion from 2025.

Qualifying battles finalized the remaining roster spots ahead of the tournament. Adam Long, Austin Lemieux, Matthew Anderson, and Willie Mack III secured the four open-qualifier positions. Meanwhile, Nick Jones and Camiko Smith earned the two available Bermuda local exemptions.
