Located on high ground overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on the western shore of Southampton Parish, Port Royal Golf Course is one of the world\u2019s most scenic island courses. Known as one of\u00a0<span class=\"unlink-player\">Jack Nicklaus<\/span>\u2018 all-time favorites, it is a government-run municipal course designed by Robert Trent Jones in 1970.<\/p>\n<p>One of the shortest courses played in the PGA Tour\u2019s annual rotation, it is characterized by its hilly terrain, challenging par-3s, and the seemingly ever-present threat of windy conditions on much of the course. It features one of the most dramatic holes on the PGA Tour, the 16th, a 230-yard par 3 perched on a clifftop ledge overlooking the Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p>While any type of player can win here, past winners have included some of the best putters on the Tour, including the likes of\u00a0<span class=\"unlink-player\">Seamus Power<\/span>,\u00a0<span class=\"unlink-player\">Lucas Herbert<\/span>,\u00a0<span class=\"unlink-player\">Brendon Todd<\/span>, and\u00a0<span class=\"unlink-player\">Brian Gay<\/span>. Fairways are narrow, and wedge opportunities are plentiful. This leads to numerous short to mid-range birdie putts that players must consistently make to remain in contention.<\/p>\n<p>Scoring has been as low as -24 both when Todd won in 2019 and in 2023 when\u00a0<span class=\"unlink-player\">Camilo Villegas<\/span>\u00a0emerged victorious. But the prevailing conditions of Bermuda often add volatility, making for an unpredictable week. This was the case in both 2020 and 2021 when Gay and Herbert won at only -15.<\/p>\n<h2>The Field<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16144\" src=\"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-10-104056.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-10-104056.png 716w, https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-10-104056-228x300.png 228w\" alt=\"\" width=\"716\" height=\"942\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This week\u2019s Bermuda Championship is critical for players hovering around the top 100 bubble, with those finishing inside that number securing PGA Tour cards for 2026.
