2025 Butterfield Bermuda Championship Preview & Picks
The 2025 Butterfield Bermuda Championship is the penultimate stop in the FedExCup Fall, a seven-tournament series held after the TOUR Championship that determines player eligibility for the 2026 PGA TOUR season.
Tournament Storylines:
Campos Returns to Bermuda in Search of Another Win
Rafael Campos earned his first PGA TOUR victory just six days after welcoming his first daughter, marking a memorable moment both personally and professionally. However, since that breakthrough, he’s struggled to regain that form. Campos has failed to post a top-30 finish in any event during the 2025 season and has missed the cut in ten of his last twelve PGA TOUR starts heading into this week’s tournament.
Michael Brennan: The Best in the Bermuda?
Michael Brennan’s rise has been nothing short of impressive. The former Wake Forest standout captured eight individual titles during his collegiate career, including back-to-back ACC Championship wins in 2023 and 2024. Finishing 12th in the PGA TOUR University rankings earned him status on the PGA TOUR Americas, where he quickly proved he belonged.
During the 2025 PGA TOUR Americas season, Brennan won three times and topped the season-long points list, earning a promotion to the Korn Ferry Tour for 2026. In his first PGA TOUR start as a professional, he made an immediate statement by winning the Bank of Utah Championship just a few weeks ago.
He followed that performance with another strong showing at the World Wide Technology Championship and enters this week as the highest-ranked player in the field

Comparable Courses:
- Corales Golf Course – Corales Puntacana Championship – RESULTS
Corales, like Port Royal, is a tropical, seaside layout featuring wide fairways, large greens, and constant exposure to ocean winds. Both courses reward players with strong short games and the ability to flight their irons effectively. Scoring is often dictated by weather conditions, with calm days producing birdie-fests and windy rounds favoring ball strikers who can control trajectory.
- PGA National – Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches – RESULTS
PGA National’s “Bear Trap” may be more penal, but both courses share a Florida-style design with water hazards, wind influence, and firm Bermuda turf. Accuracy off the tee and strong mid-iron play are essential at both venues, as missed greens can quickly turn into bogeys.
- Pebble Beach – AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am – RESULTS
Pebble Beach mirrors Port Royal’s shorter layout and coastal setting, where approach play and touch around the greens take precedence over distance. Both demand creativity in shot-making and precise control of trajectory due to elevation changes and swirling ocean breezes.
- El Cardonal at Diamante – World Wide Technology Championship – RESULTS
El Cardonal, a Tiger Woods design, features wide fairways, large undulating greens, and a resort-style setup that rewards aggressive iron play and strong putting—traits that also define Port Royal. Players who thrive in low-scoring, birdie-friendly environments tend to perform well at both venues.
- Grand Reserve Golf Club (Coco Beach) – Puerto Rico Open – RESULTS
Grand Reserve is one of the most direct comps to Port Royal, featuring a coastal, exposed layout with minimal rough, wind as a major factor, and soft, receptive greens. Success in Puerto Rico often translates well to Bermuda, as both events demand patience, adaptability, and sharp wedge play.

Course Guide/ Scorecard:
Port Royal Golf Course plays to a modest 6,828 yards, making it the shortest layout on the PGA TOUR schedule this season. Despite its limited length, the course presents a unique challenge thanks to its design and the ever-present coastal conditions. The greens are among the largest on TOUR, averaging nearly 8,000 square feet, which encourages aggressive approach play but also demands precise distance control.
There are 87 bunkers scattered strategically across the property, the tenth most on TOUR, and water comes into play on seven holes. Still, the true defense of Port Royal isn’t its bunkering or water hazards, but rather the swirling winds off the Atlantic Ocean. Those gusts can vary hole to hole and even minute to minute, forcing players to constantly adjust club selection and shot trajectory.
The four Par 3s at Port Royal Golf Course range from 148 to 235 yards, placing a premium on precision and smart club selection. In last year’s Bank of Utah Championship, every Par 3 had a scoring average over par except No. 3.
Hole 8 | Par 3 | 213 Yards | 2024 Stroke Average: 3.124 (Difficulty Rank – 6)
This is a demanding par 3 and the large green perched on the ocean will present the golfer with a challenge. Bunkers surround the target and beware – the ocean awaits the long ball. A par here is a hard-earned achievement.
Hole 16 | Par 3 | 235 Yards | 2024 Stroke Average: 3.308 (Difficulty Rank – 1)
This is truly one of the most spectacular holes in world golf. The tee shot will require a solidly hit shot across the ocean to a green perched high above the ocean on its own peninsular, A well bunkered green offers the player a small target to find and, with the prevailing winds, this hole has the ability to fool the strongest of minds. A shot to the right will be safe from the ocean but missing the traps will be a challenge.
Port Royal Golf Course features eleven par 4s, most of which are listed between 350-400 yards. Strategy plays a major role, particularly on holes that offer tempting risk-reward opportunities. In 2024, the only par 4s that played over par were No. 4, No. 11, No. 15, and No. 18.
Hole 4 | Par 4 | 458 Yards | 2024 Stroke Average: 4.224 (Difficulty Rank – 3)
A stunning dogleg par 4 which requires a well struck tee shot to the corner – beware of the bunkers guarding the right side! Your second shot is to a raised green, well protected by deep bunkers. An off-line hit can end up in serious trouble here. The three sectioned green will also require plenty of care. It is stroke index 1 and you will understand why.
Hole 15 | Par 4 | 443 Yards | 2024 Stroke Average: 4.241 (Difficulty Rank – 2)
A dogleg to the right, with the ocean on the left and a steep run off to the right. Two well placed traps on the left of the fairway must be avoided, so play for position from this tee. A risk/reward shot is available with a well struck drive down the right leaving a short iron in to a well-protected, undulating green. Achieving par here is a challenge.
Hole 18 | Par 4 | 410 Yards | 2024 Stroke Average: 4.195 (Difficulty Rank – 4)
A long, straight, uphill par 4 requiring a well struck tee shot to a tiered fairway with bunkers left and right – this is a visually excellent hole. The second shot to a raised green will test your skill set and be sure to take an extra club for this shot to the three-tiered front to back sloping green. You will face a constant challenge to the end on this hole.
There are three Par 5’s on the course: No. 2, No. 7, and No. 17. All of these holes had a scoring average under par in 2024. No. 7 was the easiest Par 5 on the course last year with a scoring average of 0.647 below par.
Hole 2 | Par 5 | 553 Yards | 2024 Stroke Average: 4.913 (Difficulty Rank – 11)
This is a serious par 5, three-shot hole. Water off the tee gives way to a left to right sweeping dog leg, trees left and right with bunkers to threaten the off-center shot. You will need to play for position on the 2nd
Hole 7 | Par 5 | 517 Yards | 2024 Stroke Average: 4.353 (Difficulty Rank – 18)
A long, sweeping dogleg where risk and reward will pay off. But watch out from the tee as bunkers are positioned to catch an off-line tee shot. The elevated green is large and undulating creating an exposed position – but don’t let the breathtaking views distract you.
Hole 17 | Par 5 | 507 Yards | 2024 Stroke Average: 4.375 (Difficulty Rank – 17)
The prevailing wind will punish you here and a well-positioned tee shot is necessary. The water on the left will make the big hitter think and the well trapped right side will certainly favor the conservative player. The second shot is all about position and an accurate layup is required to leave a challenging third shot to a raised green, but beware of the run off. An undulating green caps off this challenging par 5.
Featured/ Signature Hole(s): 16
Key Statistics:
As the Butterfield Bermuda Championship returns to Port Royal Golf Course, understanding how the course compares to PGA TOUR averages can help identify which players are best suited for success. Here’s how the Port Royal Golf Course stacks up statistically:
| Statistics | PGA Tour Average | Port Royal Golf Course |
| Driving Distance (Yards) | 284.02 | – |
| Driving Accuracy | 62% | 55% |
| GIR Percentage | 66% | 67% |
| Avg GIR Prox. to Hole (Feet) | 29.25 | – |
| Scrambling Percentage | 56% | 60% |

Outright Picks:
Vince Whaley (+3500) – DraftKings
Vince Whaley enters this week coming off a T17 at last week’s World Wide Technology Championship. He has historically performed well on coastal courses, posting top 20 finishes at the Corales Puntacana Championship (T7) and Puerto Rico Open (T16), including last week’s T17. At this event specifically, his past three appearances have produced finishes of T5, T8, and T7. Whaley has come close to winning this season, and with his comfort on coastal layouts, this looks like a strong opportunity for him to capture his first PGA TOUR victory.
Matt Wallace (+3500) – DraftKings
Matt Wallace has shown flashes of strong form this season but has yet to find full consistency. He finished T31 at last week’s World Wide Technology Championship and has proven his ability to win on coastal courses, having captured the 2023 Corales Puntacana Championship. He ranks highly across nearly every category in the model this week, and if he can putt well, he has a legitimate chance to contend.
Patrick Rodgers (+4000) – DraftKings
Patrick Rodgers comes into this week after a T6 at last week’s World Wide Technology Championship. His other strong finishes have come on comparable courses, including a T22 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and a T18 at the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches. At this event, Rodgers has been particularly consistent, finishing T9, T3, and 4th in his last three appearances.
Eric Cole (+4000) – DraftKings
Eric Cole enters the week off a T10 at last week’s World Wide Technology Championship, marking two top 10 finishes in his last three starts. He has also posted strong results on similar courses, including a T22 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and a T5 at the Sony Open in Hawaii.
Matt Kuchar (+4000) – DraftKings
Matt Kuchar, 47, has been in excellent form, posting three consecutive top-20 finishes, including a T11 at last week’s World Wide Technology Championship. He has a history of winning on coastal courses, including El Camaleon and Waialae. With a shorter layout this week, Kuchar’s lack of length won’t be a major disadvantage. His overall game is sharp, and with a win, he could comfortably secure his PGA TOUR membership for next season, sitting near the top 100 in FedExCup points.

NFL Week 10 Sunday Fun-day play – Sports Betting
🏈 Game Details
- Date & Time: Sunday, November 9, 2025, at 1 p.m. ET
- Location: U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis
- Broadcast: FOX, NFL+, WBFF Channel 45 (Baltimore), ESPN Radio
🔥 Team Momentum
- Baltimore Ravens (3–5): Riding a two-game win streak, they crushed the Dolphins 28–6 in Week 9. Lamar Jackson returned from injury and earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors with 204 yards and 4 TDs.
- Minnesota Vikings (4–4): Snapped back with a 27–24 win over the Lions. Rookie QB J.J. McCarthy threw 2 TDs and ran for another, energizing the team and fanbase.
💪 Key Matchups
- Lamar Jackson vs. Brian Flores’ defense: Jackson’s mobility and precision will be tested by Flores’ aggressive blitz schemes, which rattled Jared Goff last week.
- J.J. McCarthy vs. Ravens secondary: McCarthy’s poise will be crucial against a defense that’s gaining confidence and cohesion.
📊 Stats to Watch
| Player | Week 9 Performance |
|---|---|
| Lamar Jackson | 204 yards, 4 TDs, 78.3% completion |
| Derrick Henry | 119 rushing yards on 19 carries |
| J.J. McCarthy | 143 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT, 1 rushing TD |
| Aaron Jones | 78 rushing yards on 9 carries |
Ravens vs Vikings +4 O/U 48.5
- Ok, I know that you can throw away the stats when it comes to the Baltimore Ravens. The fact that they were missing Lamar & Roquan Smith is very hard to quantify.
- At the same time, we can’t forget that this Vikings team was also quite decimated by injuries to their Quarterback and a bunch of defense.
- I am not at all trying to say that JJ McCarthy should be compared to Lamar Jackson, but what I do know is that when the Ravens had Lamar during his first four weeks, we saw a lot of losses on the board.
- Is that Lamar’s fault? No, it was actually his defense that has failed them.
- This Ravens defense has been quite suspect over this whole season, and over their past two wins against the Bears and the Dolphins, this Ravens team has been out-gained in Yards.
- I think that the Vikings are live this game with linebackers like Blake Cashman in the middle, and Andrew Van Ginkel in the pass rush. Brian Flores will have this defense who ranks 11th in EPA per play, even with all of the injuries, ready to roll in this big game.
- The pass catchers for the Vikings are better than what the Ravens have. The Ravens defense ranks a low 25th in EPA. Take the Queens.
Vikings +4 – 2 stars
