Butterfield Bermuda Championship DFS picks 2026: Why this young star can break through

The PGA Tour’s 2026 Butterfield Bermuda Championship, set to take place at the historic Port Royal Golf Course, promises a unique blend of challenge and opportunity. Located on Bermuda’s western shore, the Robert Trent Jones-designed course—known for its hilly terrain, narrow fairways, and oceanfront 16th hole—has hosted low-scoring events before, with winners like Brendon Todd and Camilo Villegas finishing at 24-under-par in 2019 and 2023, respectively.

However, Bermuda’s unpredictable winds and shifting conditions can drastically alter the field’s performance, as seen in last year’s windy finale won by Adam Schenk at 12-under-par. With a 120-player field headlined by world No.

60 Corey Conners and recent Bank of Utah winner Austin Smotherman, the tournament features seven players ranked inside the top 100 globally, though the absence of elite star power leaves room for breakout performances. Among the standout prospects is 22-year-old Sean M.

Haffey, whose rapid improvement—including a 1.51-stroke-per-round gain over the past six months and top-15 rankings in all strokes-gained categories—positions him as a dark-horse contender. His ability to thrive in windy conditions, averaging 0.83 strokes gained per round in gusty environments, could prove decisive on a course where approach play and short-game precision often separate winners from the rest.
