The Butterfield Bermuda Championship, the PGA Tour’s only event on the island, will open on Saturday, September 22, at the historic St. George’s Golf Club. The 18‑hole course, renowned for its salt‑air breezes and sweeping ocean views, has hosted the tournament since 2017 and is slated to run through Sunday, September 24.

Among the 50‑plus players in the field is Puerto Rican professional Virgilio Paz, who has earned a reputation for his steady play in recent majors. Paz, who finished 14th at last week’s Houston Open, is expected to bring a competitive edge to the island’s links, drawing attention from both local fans and international golf enthusiasts.

Betting activity has surged ahead of the championship, with local bookmakers reporting increased volumes on key markets such as “Paz to finish in the top‑five” and “overall winner.” The interest reflects a broader trend of global bettors seeking high‑visibility events that combine elite golf with unique course conditions. Bermuda’s own betting firms are preparing to offer live coverage and live‑action wagers, while the official PGA Tour wagering partner has highlighted the tournament’s appeal to both seasoned punters and newcomers.

The event will also provide a showcase for Bermuda’s hospitality sector, as the island’s hotels and restaurants anticipate a spike in visitor traffic during the three‑day weekend. Local media will cover the championship extensively, offering commentary, player interviews, and live updates for residents who wish to follow the action from home or on the course’s public viewing areas.
