2026 Butterfield Bermuda Championship Fantasy Golf Picks Template
The Butterfield Bermuda Championship returns to Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda, from October 22-25. The 6,828-yard par-71 Robert Trent Jones design is short by PGA TOUR standards but exposed to ocean wind, elevation changes, strategic bunkering and the famous cliffside par-3 16th.
Port Royal rewards players who control trajectory, keep tee shots in position and attack the correct sections of exposed greens. Wind management, approach distance control, scrambling and confident Bermuda-grass putting can separate the strongest four-round profiles.
This page keeps the reusable CaddyBytes fantasy structure for the remaining events. Tournament-specific links, dates, Port Royal details and field boards are updated while the section order, anchors, ads, mobile layout and update schedule remain consistent.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship Risk Flags
Wind-Dependent Course History
Port Royal history matters, but scoring conditions can change sharply with the wind, so one prior finish should not outweigh current form and complete ball striking.
Final Tournament Setup
The listed par and yardage provide the advance profile, but tee positions, firmness and wind can still change which scoring lanes carry the greatest advantage.
Island Travel and Coastal Weather
Island travel, rain and changing coastal wind can affect preparation and create major scoring differences across tee-time waves.
