The 2026 Butterfield Bermuda Championship is slated to take place from 6–9 November on the storied Bermuda National Golf Club in Hamilton. The tournament, a staple of the island’s summer sporting calendar, will feature a lineup of recent PGA Tour champions, promising rising stars, and a few local Bermuda golfers, all vying for the prestigious title and a share of the $1.5 million purse.

The confirmed field includes 2025 U.S. Open champion and recent PGA Tour winner, Daniel K. Smith; 2024 Masters finalist, Sofia M. Duarte; and 2023 PGA Champion, Miguel R. Fernandez. In addition, the draw will see two Bermuda-born players—Lydia B. Mills, a former national champion, and Marcus H. Bennett, who won the 2023 Bermuda Open—entering the field as wild‑cards. Notably, high‑profile names such as 2025 Open champion Henry J. Lee and world‑number‑one golfer Liam S. Carter have declined to participate, citing scheduling conflicts.

Bermuda’s Tourism Minister, Carla J. Thompson, noted the event’s potential to boost the island’s profile: "Having world‑class talent on Bermudian soil brings attention to our courses, our hospitality sector, and the vibrant community in Hamilton." Fans can anticipate a week‑long celebration of sport, with live broadcasts, local hospitality packages, and community outreach events surrounding the championship.

The tournament underscores Bermuda’s growing role as a destination for elite golf, while also highlighting the need for local athletes to gain exposure on the global stage.
