Which Bermuda course hosts the Butterfield Bermuda Championship?

The Butterfield Bermuda Championship is played at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton Parish, Bermuda.

The tournament joined the PGA Tour schedule in 2019 as part of the 2020 season. It began as an alternate event, but its status changed temporarily in 2020, 2021, and 2022 when the WGC-HSBC Champions was canceled because of pandemic-related considerations.

Port Royal is a public 18-hole course designed by Robert Trent Jones. Its coastal setting is especially memorable, with the dramatic 16th hole perched above the Atlantic Ocean. That scenery helps distinguish it from Bermuda’s other well-known golf venues, including Mid Ocean Club and Belmont Hills.

The course was founded in the 1960s and opened in 1970. It later underwent a major renovation before hosting the 2009 PGA Grand Slam of Golf, making it an established championship venue before the Bermuda Championship arrived.
