The penultimate tournament in the FedEx Cup Fall section of the PGA Tour season is the Butterfield Bermuda Championship from Port Royal Golf Course.
The event has one of the smaller purses on the PGA Tour this year, with players competing for a share of $6.9m. However, that is still an increase of $400,000 on the 2023 tournament, which saw Camillo Villegas claim an emotional victory when he beat Alex Noren by two shots. That was his first PGA Tour win in over nine years, and it banked him a payday of $1.17m. This year’s winner will claim $1.242m, although that isn’t the only perk.
If not otherwise exempt, the victor will also claim a place in the 2025 Masters as well as 500 FedEx Cup points, which could be pivotal in helping the player finish in the top 125 of the FedEx Cup Fall standings. Those who make it above the cut-off at the end of the season guarantee entry into full-field PGA Tour events in 2025 and a spot at The Players Championship. That means with only the RSM Classic to come after this week’s event, the stakes are high for many of the 120 players in the field.
Below is the prize money payout for the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.

Who Are The Star Names In The Butterfield Bermuda Championship?
Six-time PGA Tour winner Lucas Glover is the highest-ranked player in the field at 47th. He is one of 13 players in the top 100 competing this week, including Nick Taylor, who won February’s WM Phoenix Open, the winner of the Sanderson Farms Championship, Kevin Yu, and Nico Echavarria, who beat Tiger Woods’s scoring record on the way to winning last month’s Zozo Championship.
Other standout names include International Team Presidents Cup star Mackenzie Hughes, Valspar Championship winner Peter Malnati and Jhonattan Vegas, who won July’s 3M Open.
Camilo Villegas won the event in 2023 and he also plays, along with former champions Seamus Power and Brendon Todd.
Much of the attention will be on YouTubers George and Wesley Bryan, who will play a PGA Tour event together for only the third time. While Wesley is a PGA Tour regular, George plays just his second event of the season courtesy of a sponsor’s exemption.
The brothers also played in last year’s event and both made the cut. For Wesley, the tournament offers an excellent chance to force his way into the top 125 of the FedEx Cup standings following a T6 at the World Wide Technology Championship. That left him 128th with a PGA Tour card the incentive for finishing above the cut-off.
