Port Royal Golf Course (par 71, 6,828 yards, Bermuda greens) in Southampton, Bermuda, is hosting the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. Port Royal has been the site of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship since its inception in 2019, and Adam Schenk (-12) is the defending champion of this tournament after winning by one stroke a year ago. This week’s field features 120 players and there will be a top-65 and ties cut after the first two rounds.
Below, I have featured my two favorite bets for the Butterfield Bermuda Championship on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best Bets for the 2026 Butterfield Bermuda Championship
Seamus Power for a top-20 finish including ties (+120)
Power has finished inside the top-20 six times this season, three of which have come in his last six starts. So far during the fall swing, Power has finished T7th at the Biltmore Championship Asheville and T21st at the Bank of Utah Championship while shooting under par in all eight of his rounds.
Power has been terrific with his flat stick this season, ranking 11th in SGP, which sets him up perfectly for his return to Port Royal – four of the last five winners here have finished top-10 in PPR. Power has been fabulous at this island course, never missing a cut in six starts and finishing inside the top-20 three times. Power won at Port Royal in 2022 and finished T11th at the track just last year.
Power has shot a 6-under 65 four times at Port Royal and ranks ninth in this field in strokes gained per round at the par 71. Power simply loves teeing it up at Port Royal and he is a great bet to finish inside the top-20 at this plus money price.
Kristoffer Ventura over David Ford (-125)
While Ford is coming off a T3 at the Bank of Utah Championship, he missed the cut at the Biltmore Championship Asheville in his previous start, which is the third time in his last six starts that Ford has failed to make the cut. Ford’s T3 at the Bank of Utah Championship is the only time he has cracked the top-40 in his last six starts.
Meanwhile, Ventura has only missed one cut in his last seven starts and he has finished inside the top-15 three times during this run. When we compare this field’s last 24 rounds, Ventura ranks 19th in total strokes gained, whereas Ford ranks 29th.
So, while Ford is on the heels of a very high finish, Ventura’s recent form is more promising. Plus, the Norwegian holds a clear edge in course history at Port Royal.
Ventura has finished T41st, MC and T34th in his three starts at Port Royal, while Ford missed the cut in his lone appearance at the island course last year. Ford didn’t shoot under par in either of his rounds at Port Royal while Ventura has shot under par in 7-of-10 rounds here.
Ventura carries +3000 odds to win the Butterfield Bermuda Championship on DraftKings Sportsbook, compared to Ford at +3400. Ventura is the clear choice for this tournament matchup.
