Harry Higgs, the rising star of the PGA Tour, has set his sights on the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, the first event of the 2026 season held on the island’s iconic North Shore Course. Scheduled to open on Saturday, the tournament brings a fresh challenge for the 27‑year‑old, who has already earned a reputation for his powerful drives and precise iron play. Despite a modest start to the season, Higgs remains confident as he prepares to compete against a field that includes seasoned professionals and local contenders.

The Butterfield Bermuda Championship is a key fixture for players looking to secure momentum early in the calendar. Higgs’ team notes that he has been targeting a smooth transition from the 2025 season, refining his short‑game techniques during the off‑season. An early start on Bermuda’s well‑mown greens offers a unique opportunity to gauge his form against the world’s best.

Local golf enthusiasts are eager to witness the event, as the tournament draws attention to Bermuda’s reputation as a premier destination for world‑class golf. With the island’s distinctive blue‑water views and lush fairways, the Butterfield Bermuda Championship promises both a competitive showcase and a celebration of Bermuda’s sporting heritage.

"We’re excited to see how Harry adapts to the course conditions here," said the tournament’s managing director. The championship, featuring a $2.5 million purse, will run from Saturday to Monday, culminating in a final round that could set the tone for the rest of the season.
