The PGA Tour heads to Bermuda for the 2026 Butterfield Bermuda Championship. After a trip to Japan and a week off, the FedExCup Fall Series reaches the halfway point with the fourth of eight events this autumn.
The Butterfield Bermuda Championship marks the second of four consecutive international stops, with back-to-back events in Mexico on deck over the next couple of weeks. Port Royal Golf Course (Par 71, 6,828 yards) in Southampton, Bermuda, has been a mainstay on the PGA Tour calendar since 2019 and will host this event for an eighth time.
After Rafael Campos earned his first career PGA Tour win here in 2024, Adam Schenk followed suit en route to earning his first win at last year's Bermuda Championship. Both will tee it up again in the 120-man field competing in the event's eighth edition. Eric Cole comes in as the lone player ranked in the FedExCup Fall top 50 to tee it up, with Bank of Utah winner Austin Smotherman, Ben James, and two-time PGA Tour winner Corey Conners being a few of the other notables in the field.
Coming off Michael Brennan's big win for us at the Baycurrent Classic two weeks ago, let's see if we can identify several more who could excel at Port Royal GC. Let's dive into the picks and predictions for the 2026 Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
2026 Butterfield Bermuda Championship picks and predictions
Sleeper pick for the Butterfield Bermuda Championship: Justin Lower (+9000)
Lower has made two starts during the FedExCup Fall, finishing tied for 33rd at the Biltmore Championship Asheville and T21 at the Bank of Utah Championship last time out. It's his best run of form in 2026, and he now returns to a locale where he has finished T8 or better in two of his last five starts and inside the top 20 in four of his last five. He ranks 16th in the field in total strokes gained over the last month, per Data Golf.
Top 10 pick for the Butterfield Bermuda Championship: Rico Hoey (+255)
Hoey ranks ninth in the field in total strokes gained from tee to green over the last six months and 17th in approach over the last month. Coming off a T10 finish in his most recent start, Hoey has now accumulated three top-25 finishes in his last four starts. He has finished tied for 17th and tied for 22nd in his last two starts at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
Pick to win the Butterfield Bermuda Championship: Seamus Power (+3000)
Including his win at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship in 2022, Power has finished tied for 12th or better on three of his last four visits to Port Royal GC. After back-to-back top-11 finishes at the end of July, Power started the FedExCup Fall by tying for seventh in Asheville and finishing T21 in Utah last time out. Top 10 in the field in both putting and strokes gained around the green over the last three months, Power's elite short game could once again come in handy at a locale that is often influenced by the elements.
Pick to win the Butterfield Bermuda Championship: Andrew Novak (+2700)
With a top-seven finish at the RSM Classic and a runner-up finish at Harbour Town on his resume, Novak has shown that he is comfortable at coastal venues. A winner at the Zurich Classic in 2025, Novak has made the cut on each of his last three visits to Port Royal and finished runner-up here last time out. After a challenging summer, he has seemingly turned a corner with back-to-back top-17 finishes in his last two starts. He ranks second in the field in total strokes gained from tee to green over the last six months.
