Adam Schenk captured his first PGA Tour victory at the 2025 Butterfield Bermuda Championship, besting a challenging field and weather at Bermuda’s Port Royal Golf Course. Schenk secured the win with a four-round total of 12-under-par 272, edging Chandler Phillips by a single stroke after a tense final day marked by gusty winds that tested the world-class talent assembled on the island.
Tournament play concluded on Sunday, November 16, with Schenk’s steady 71 in the final round proving enough to hold off Phillips, who finished at 11-under-par. A five-way tie for third saw Alex Smalley, Vince Whaley, Frankie Capan III, Takumi Kanaya, and Max McGreevy each finish at 10-under 274. The event, part of the FedEx Cup Fall schedule, offered a $6 million purse, with Schenk collecting $1.08 million for his inaugural victory—matching the prize pool and points opportunities of many Tour events at this stage in the season.
Set against the turquoise backdrop of Bermuda’s coastline, Port Royal Golf Course once again delivered a memorable test for competitors. The venue’s signature 16th hole, requiring an approach over coastal cliffs, lived up to its reputation, providing both drama and a showcase for Bermuda’s scenic beauty. The winds, a perennial factor at Port Royal, played a decisive role, especially in the opening and closing rounds, underlining the course’s reputation and highlighting Bermuda’s unique conditions for players and fans alike.
Tournament organizers and the community embraced the influx of visitors, with golf tourists joining Bermudians to line fairways and soak in the vibrant sporting atmosphere. The event continued to cement Bermuda’s profile on the international golf calendar, offering television viewers around the world sweeping vistas and a glimpse of local culture.
