The FedExCup Fall schedule and 2022-23 season reaches its penultimate event with this week’s Butterfield Bermuda Championship, contested for the fifth consecutive year at Port Royal Golf Club. While star power is lacking there will be plenty of competition as players look to secure their 2024 Tour card with a high finish in the standings. Adam Scott makes his debut in Bermuda and just his second start of the fall, but he’s the betting favorite among six players with 20/1 or shorter odds.

Big name players have dominated the brief history of the ZOZO Championship and a number of them are back in action following the Ryder Cup hiatus. The last PGA Tour victory for Tiger Woods was in the inaugural playing of this event in 2019 with former FedExCup champion Patrick Cantlay hoisting the hardware a year later. In 2021 Japan’s greatest golfer Hideki Matsuyama cruised to an easy victory when the event returned to his native land following a COVID-induced relocation. Defending champ Keegan Bradley ended a lengthy title drought with his victory last year. For the second year in a row Xander Schauffele was installed as the early outright favorite with Collin Morikawa, Sungjae Im and Rickie Fowler all positioned near the top of the odds board.
