The Butterfield Bermuda Championship announced the return of the Butterfield Bermuda APGA Championship, in conjunction with the Advocates Professional Golf Association (APGA) and the PGA TOUR.
The Butterfield Bermuda APGA Championship will be hosted at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda, December 3rd and 4th. The event is sponsored by the Bermuda Tourism Authority, Butterfield, Pompano Beach Club and Life and Annuity Services (LAS).
Adam Perry, Quinton Sherlock, and Scott Roy qualified for the APGA event during the Butterfield Bermuda Championship Local Qualifier back in September.
The APGA was created in 2010 as a non-profit organization and aims to bring greater diversity to the game of golf by hosting tournaments, offering player development and mentoring programs, as well as introducing the game to the next generation of golfers.. The Butterfield Bermuda APGA Championship will celebrate inclusion and provide diverse golfers from underrepresented backgrounds with an equal opportunity to compete at the highest level.
APGA Tour Chairman Ken Bentley, said: “We are thankful to the Butterfield Bermuda Championship team and the Bermuda Tourism Authority for their continued support of the APGA Tour. In addition to offering our players the opportunity to compete, we are also excited to connect them with the PGA TOUR and further our mission for equality and inclusion in such a beautiful location.”
The field will be comprised of 18 of the top APGA Tour players, based on the final 2023 APGA Tour Lexus Cup standings, and the three local Bermudians who will have a chance to earn their spot during the local qualifier at Port Royal Golf Course. Players will compete for an exemption into the 2025 Butterfield Bermuda Championship and a purse of $50,000 making it the fourth largest on the APGA Tour.
The tournament welcomes the public to come out and show their support. It is free to attend, and you do not require a ticket.
