There are only 2 tournaments left in the FedExCup Fall, with this week’s 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship being the penultimate event. The field may not be full of stars, but there’s a lot on the line for those trying to rise up the FedExCup Fall rankings before the 2025 season. The first round from Port Royal Golf Course in Bermuda begins on Thursday.
Below, we search for the best value prop bets for the Butterfield Bermuda Championship from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.
The tournament favorite this week is Seamus Power at +1400. Mackenzie Hughes (+1600), Ben Griffin (+1800) and Maverick McNealy (+1800) are among the other players at the top of the board, while defending champion Camilo Villegas is a long shot at +30000.
Port Royal Golf Course is a seaside track that plays at only 6,828 yards, making it one of the shortest courses on the PGA Tour schedule. However, winds can (and probably will) play a big role in making several holes longer and more difficult. It will once again play as a par 71 this week.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Top-5 picks
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of PGA Tour odds. Lines last updated Tuesday at 4:47 p.m. ET.
Matti Schmid (+500)
Schmid finished third in this event last year, just his second start in the Butterfield. As for his recent form, he has finishes of 16th, fifth and third in 3 of his last 4 starts this season, so he’s playing well coming into the week.
Justin Lower (+450)
In 3 career starts in this event, Lower has come in 17th, eighth and 20th. He doesn’t have a top-5 finish, but he could be poised to make a run at the title in Bermuda this week.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Top-10 picks
Nico Echavarria (+250)
Echavarria is coming off a T-6 finish in Mexico last week after he won the Zozo Championship the tournament before. He’s in as good a form as anyone in the field and the wind in Bermuda may not bother him much, as he’s shown in the past.
Daniel Berger (+300)
Berger tied for 20th last week in Mexico, another strong showing from the 31-year-old American. Even though this will be his first start in the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, he’s playing well enough to warrant a bet this week.
Brendon Todd (+375)
Todd is a shorter hitter but that isn’t as much of a detriment this week at Port Royal, which doesn’t necessarily favor longer drivers. He won this tournament in 2021 and came in 20th last year.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Top-20 picks
Vince Whaley (+200)
Whaley is 2-for-3 in top-20 finishes in this event, coming in seventh and eighth in his last 2 starts here. All we need in this bet is a top 20, which he’s had in 2 of his last 4 starts this season.
Greyson Sigg (+160)
In his last 4 starts, Sigg has gone fourth, MC, 11th and 23rd, so he’s playing well at the moment. Add in the fact he’s finished 11th and 22nd in 2 career starts at this course and he’s someone to back in Bermuda.
Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Matchups
Suggested play is golfer in bold.
Justin Lower (-105) vs. Sam Stevens (-120)
We’ve already gone over the reasons to like Lower this week, and though Stevens hasn’t finished worse than 23rd in his last 3 starts this fall, he also missed the cut in his only appearance in this event.
Patrick Rodgers (+115) vs. Doug Ghim (-145)
The gap between Ghim and Rodgers should not be this big, especially considering Ghim has missed the cut in the last 2 years here. Rodgers, meanwhile, has come in third and fourth in his last 2 starts in this event.
Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Top South American
Nico Echavarria (+125)
Only Jhonatton Vegas (+160) is close to Echavarria in this market, with the other 2 South American players being +500 (Alejandro Tosti) and Camilo Villegas (+800). Echavarria played well at another seaside course last week in Mexico, finishing T-6, and he could pull it off again this week.
Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Top European
Matti Schmid (+350)
Schmid has the second-best odds to be the top European player at the end of the week, with only Power having shorter odds at +200. Schmid finished third here last year and has showings of third and fifth in 2 of his last 3 starts this season, so he’s in good form.
Butterfield Bermuda Championship – First-round leader
Matti Schmid (+4000)
Schmid shot 64 in the opening round last year to grab a tie for sixth, getting off to a great start in Bermuda. He could do the same again this week, especially with the way he’s been playing lately.
