The Butterfield Bermuda Championship is set to return to the island’s storied courses this week, drawing top PGA Tour talent and a wave of visitors to Hamilton and surrounding towns. The tournament will be played over two days of fierce competition, with the final round scheduled for Sunday afternoon.

The event, which has been a staple of Bermuda’s sporting calendar for over a decade, takes place at the historic Hamilton Island Golf Club and the nearby Royal Bermuda Golf Club. Local legend and former professional, Barry T. Jones, will serve as the tournament’s host, offering insights into the island’s unique playing conditions and the rich history of Bermudian golf.

Beyond the sport itself, the championship is a significant boost for the island’s economy. Hotels, restaurants, and local vendors typically see a surge in business during the event, and the proceeds from the tournament support charities that promote youth golf programs across Bermuda.

Officials say the tournament’s growth reflects the island’s growing reputation as a premier golf destination. “The Butterfield Bermuda Championship showcases the best of our courses and the hospitality that makes Bermuda special,” said event coordinator Marcia Wilson. “We’re proud to welcome players and fans from around the world.”
