The Butterfield Bermuda Championship, the island’s premier golf event, will return to the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club next week, drawing a mix of international contenders and local talent. The tournament, which takes place on the club’s iconic 18‑hole layout, is scheduled to run from Thursday to Sunday and will feature a purse of $650,000.

While the sporting spotlight is focused on the competition itself, bookmakers across North America and the UK have already opened betting markets, offering odds on the winner, top‑10 finishers and even individual round scores. Local analysts note that the unpredictable Bermuda weather can swing outcomes, making the betting market particularly volatile.

In the lead‑up to the event, several Bermudian golfers have been highlighted by tipsters. Atlantic Islanders like Tom “Tee” Thompson and Samantha “Sandy” Reid, who have previously finished in the top ten at the championship, are being watched closely by bettors. Their familiarity with the course’s tight fairways and wind‑affected greens is seen as a potential advantage.

The betting scene reflects the broader enthusiasm for the tournament, with many residents taking a keen interest in the odds. Whether you’re a seasoned sports bettor or simply a fan of the game, the Butterfield Championship offers a unique chance to test your predictions against one of the world’s most picturesque golfing venues.
