Who to watch for at the Bermuda Championship
Best Bets:
Christiaan Bezuidenhout
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
South African grew up learning to play the game in windy conditions. Most of his wins come on courses in windy conditions, St. Andrews, Valderrama and Sun City. Was runner-up in Dubai, but played well in Florida last year showing he can play in the wind. One of the shortest players on tour now, he is a great putter and someone that will fall in love with Port Royal.
Matt Fitzpatrick
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Playing the Bermuda for the first time, but has played great on courses susceptible to wind. Has won at Valderrama, Dubai, Switzerland. Plus he has always been good on Floridian courses. The big problem he loses some points for being very inconsistent. Yes he won two weeks ago at the Andalucia Masters, but missed his previous starts at Italian Open and Northern Trust.
Patrick Reed
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Has won on some of the windiest courses in golf, Kapalua, Torrey Pines, Doral and in Palm Springs. Looking to regain some of the momentum he lost over the summer, the course is right up his alley.
Best of the rest:
Danny Willett
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T55 |
Like a lot of our key picks, Willett has won at St. Andrews, Augusta National, and in Dubai twice. Was T-55th in Bermuda last year, finished 8th at the windy Corales, plus many top finishes on courses in Florida and the desert. Another short but accurate off the tee, he gains his advantage on and around the greens.
Mito Pereira
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Grew up in Chile and went to college in Texas, he is the best player off of last year’s Korn Ferry List. Started the 2022 season with a 3rd at the Fortinet Championship.
Seamus Power
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T37 | T31 |
Born and was raised in Waterford, Ireland, he learned the game on the links of Waterford which gets a lot of wind. Made it to the winner’s circle at Barbasol he has played twice in Bermuda T-37th last year and T-31st in 2020.
Fabian Gomez
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | 7 |
Looking to regain a game that has been stalled for a number of years. May of missed the cut last year in Bermuda but was 7th in 2020.
Others to think about:
Garrick Higgo
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Grew up in windy South African, he has played well in windy regions on the European Tour including winds in Spain, and playing well in Portugal. Won the Palmetto Championship to get him onto the PGA Tour, Unfortunately has struggled since but this course is good for him.
Scott Stallings
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T26 | T18 |
Has won at Torrey Pines along with a good finish at Pebble Beach, places with the wind. Been on the PGA Tour since 2007, he has played twice in Bermuda, T-26th last year, and T-18th in 2020.
Hayden Buckley
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Had a great finish in the Korn Ferry which got him his tour card. Has played well in his last two events, T-4th at Sanderson and T-8th at Shriners.
Anirban Lahiri
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T11 | WD |
Doesn’t have much experience and good vibes playing in wind but was T-11th in Bermuda last year. He needs to play well in the coming weeks in order to stay on the PGA Tour after the fall period.
Players you probably won’t ever think about and should:
Brian Gay
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Win | T3 |
Loves playing in Bermuda with his win last year and T-3rd in 2020. Yes has played well in the wind, he has the experience to play well in Bermuda. One of the shortest players off the tee makes up with some good play on and around the greens.
Graeme McDowell
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
This guy has shown he can play well in the wind, he won at Corales Puntacana, Mayakoba, Heritage, Valderrama, Scottish Open, and of course in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. Playing for the first time in Bermuda, no matter what he has done lately (which isn’t good), he seems to find a way to win per victors in Saudi International in 2020 and Corales Pentagon in 2019. One of the shortest hitters in golf but he is accurate and can putt ok.
Nick Watney
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT |
Looking to regain some of the luster that he lost many years ago. Missed the cut in Bermuda, but was T-2nd last month at the Sanderson. He has the experience to play well in the wind.
