The Butterfield Bermuda Championship is set to resume at the island’s premier golf course this weekend, drawing a field of 120 competitors from across the Atlantic and the Caribbean. The tournament, which has been a staple of Bermuda’s sporting calendar since 1974, will run from Thursday afternoon to Saturday evening, with the final drive scheduled for the historic Royal Bermuda Golf Club.

Local favourite Thomas “Tom” McLeod, the 28‑year‑old Bermudian who has previously finished in the top ten, is looking to build on his strong showing last year. McLeod’s teammate and former national champion, 34‑year‑old Fei Wang, will also be in the spotlight as she hopes to claim her first international title. In addition, the field will include a mix of seasoned professionals from the PGA and a handful of promising amateurs, creating a competitive mix that echoes the “Crown” tradition of the event.

According to the latest odds released by the Bermuda Golf Association, McLeod holds the top spot at 5.2‑to‑1, followed by Wang at 7‑to‑1. While the betting market leans toward the local contingent, the event remains open to wildcards and surprise runs – an element that keeps the public intrigued. Organisers have emphasised that the championship provides a vital platform for showcasing Bermuda’s hospitality and golfing heritage to a global audience.

The tournament will also support the local economy, with the hospitality sector expecting a surge in visitors. For those wishing to watch or participate, the official schedule and ticket information are available on the Bermuda Golf Association’s website.
