Tournament History
The Butterfield Bermuda Championship debuted in the 2019 as part of the 2019-20 season. Originally designated as an alternate event, opposite the WGC-HSBC Champions, the tournament name was simply the Bermuda Championship with the Bermuda Tourism Board funding the $3,000,000 purse.
With a score of 24-under par, Brendon Todd took home the inaugural trophy and the $540,000 first prize. The win was Todd’s second of his PGA Tour career, and came five years after his maiden title (2014 AT&T Byron Nelson),
In 2020, as a result of the cancellation of the WGC-HSBC Champions due to COVID, it was elevated to full FedEx Cup point event status with champion Brian Gay receiving $720,000, 500 points and earning a Masters Tournament invitation after winning in a playoff over Wyndham Clark.
The prize fund was raised to $6.5 million in 2021 with Butterfield Bank coming on as the title sponsor.
Now part of the FedEx Cup Fall, which is more or less a Q school series, the prize fund was cut to $6 million as the fields are extremely weak.
The tournament is played at the Port Royal Golf Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones, in Southampton Parish, Bermuda.
