Private Jet Club Partners with the Bermuda Championship
|
|
Private Jet Club (PJC) is partnering with the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, a PGA TOUR event, for its 2026 tournament at Port Royal Golf Course, with the relationship centred on player travel and marketing initiatives around tournament week.
At the heart of the partnership is the players’ charter following the championship. Once play concludes in Bermuda, PJC will provide the private flight taking participating players onward to VidantaWorld Mexico Open for the next tournament on the PGA TOUR schedule.
Becky Ezekiel, Private Jet Club CEO, said, “This is our first year partnering with The Butterfield Bermuda Championship. We are excited to help make the players’ travel as seamless as possible and play a small part in ensuring they are match-fit for the next tournament. Our collaboration runs deeper than travel; we are investing in a number of wider initiatives and hope this is the start of a long-lasting relationship. And of course, we are looking to add a Bermudian touch throughout and involve other local businesses wherever we can.”
The Journey After The Final Putt
The charter forms part of a wider relationship between PJC and the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. The two organisations will also work together on a series of marketing and editorial initiatives around the tournament, including a Hole in One competition at the Pro-Am and an original content series exploring Bermuda’s place in professional golf.
There is a personal connection behind some of that interest. PJC CEO Becky Ezekiel’s father, David, brought the PGA of America’s Grand Slam of Golf to the Mid Ocean Club in Bermuda, serving as General Chairman in the first two years of the event. Cue the oft-repeated family dinnertime story about David’s son, Daniel, driving the par-four first at Port Royal alongside Rory McIlroy in the Grand Slam Pro-Am — a gauntlet McIlroy was apparently quite happy to pick up on the next tee.
The PGA of America’s Grand Slam of Golf was distinct from today’s Butterfield Bermuda Championship, but as Bermuda’s previous premier professional golf event, it helped establish the island as a destination for top-level professional golf. The two tournaments belong to different eras, but the thread between them is an interesting one. For decades, Bermuda has found ways to bring elite players to an island that sits outside the usual continental tournament circuit and presents its own connectivity challenges. PJC’s role in 2026 brings aviation into that story, helping players move from one tournament to the next without adding unnecessary complexity to an already demanding schedule.
A Partnership Beyond The Flight
Butterfield Bermuda Championship Assistant Tournament Director, Jevon Roberts, added, “The Butterfield Bermuda Championship is excited to partner with PJC as we continue to elevate the experience for our partners, fans, players, and caddies. I had the opportunity to visit one of the jets the players will have the opportunity to charter, and what an experience it was. As the Player Relations representative, these are the questions I will need to answer in a few weeks once the players and agents start reaching out to me to find the best way to get to the island. We are also looking forward to PJC facilitating the return charter to Mexico once our tournament is done. I’ve been able to speak to the players in my travels about this already, and they are thankful to get information in advance”.

Bermuda Golf Junior Team Set for North America Cup
|
|
The Bermuda Golf Association is pleased to announce the junior team that will represent Bermuda at the North America Cup in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, competing against junior teams from Mexico, Canada and Guatemala.
Sa-Qui Robinson will captain the Bermuda team, which includes:
Junior Boys
Sa-Qui Robinson, Captain
Arman Newton
Will Weston
Grayson Tavares
Ramsey Soutter
Lachlan Soutter
Bantam Boys
Max Parry
Damian Moniz
Bantam Girls
Kailia Matthews
The team will be supported by Kathleen Moniz and Gareth Tavares.
Before travelling to Mexico, the team will spend two days in Toronto for a mini training camp. This will give the players a chance to prepare together before connecting with Team Canada and travelling on to Puerto Vallarta.
A special thank you to Earl Fritz and Shayne Dysart of the Canadian Junior Golf Association, Henry Brunton and Jon Kiru for their assistance with the Toronto camp and for supporting our players during their preparation.
The North America Cup will be played over three days, with the players experiencing different formats of team golf. They will compete as individuals, pairs and as a team, accumulating points for Bermuda through head to head competition against Mexico, Canada and Guatemala.
This format gives the juniors a different experience from the individual tournament golf they play throughout the year.
The competition will be played at Vidanta Vallarta, the Greg Norman designed course that hosts the PGA TOUR’s Vidanta World Mexico Open.
We would also like to thank Xavier Villeneuve and the Mexican Junior Golf Federation for hosting Bermuda, Canada and Guatemala in Mexico this week and for bringing the four countries together for the event.
BGA President Craig Brown, “For the BGA, development trips like this are an important part of our junior golf program and human development. It is in our mandate to build better citizens through golf, and we want our junior athletes to embrace competing internationally, experiencing new cultures, golf formats, and building relationships with players and from other countries.”
