The 2020 Bermuda Championship brings a mixed field to Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda. Brendon Todd returns to defend his 2019 title in the inaugural running of the event. He’s one of the few who’ll be making his way to Augusta National for the Masters Tournament in two weeks (Nov. 12-15); this week’s winner will receive an invite to the 2021 Masters next April.
Below, we look at the fantasy golf power rankings for the top 30 golfers at the 2020 Bermuda Championship.

30. Luke List (+4000)
Won his only Korn Ferry Tour start of 2020 and will be playing against similar competition this week. He has two top 10s on the PGA Tour this year.
29. Peter Malnati (+4500)
Followed a runner-up finish at the Sanderson Farms Championship with a T-5 at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open before an ill-timed two-week break. Relied a little too heavily on his putter in those results to be a safe pick this week.
28. Padraig Harrington (+5500)
The former Open Championship winner didn’t play either the PGA Championship or US Open while remaining in Europe. He was T-9 in a strong field at the Scottish Open.
27. David Hearn (+9000)
Tied for eighth in this event last year while averaging 1.46 strokes gained per round on the field, according to Data Golf. Has missed 12 cuts through 16 events in 2020.
26. Will Gordon (+10000)
Hasn’t been able to find further success since a surprise T-3 finish against a strong field at the Travelers Championship. His driver won’t be as much of an advantage at the petite Port Royal.
25. Josh Teater (+10000)
The veteran pro has performed extremely well in these weaker-field events over the last two years. He was the runner-up at the Puerto Rico Open earlier in 2020 and tied for 11th in this event last year to go with a T-13 at the Barracuda Championship and a T-6 at the Barbasol Championship.
24. Rafa Cabrera-Bello (+6000)
A T-23 at the US Open was his best result since the PGA Tour’s mid-June restart. He typically plays better in bigger events and may not be fully devoted in Bermuda.
23. Wyndham Clark (+7000)
One of the best putters on Tour when he’s on and could join in on the scoring fest at a shorter, easier course. Has struggled more with the flat stick early in the 2020-21 season.
22. Hudson Swafford (+8000)
The winner of the recent Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship will be playing similar competition this week and birdies will again be easy to come by.
21. Max Homa (+8000)
Has missed the cut in four of his last five events but flashed potential with a T-3 at the 3M Open this summer.

20. Tyler McCumber (+6600)
Missed the cut last week after a runner-up finish in the Dominican Republic and a T-6 at the Sanderson Farms Championship. His putting stroke has been awful with an average of 1.09 strokes lost per round.
19. Patrick Rodgers (+5500)
Missed the cut here last year while losing 2.12 total strokes per round to the field. He should fit well if his putter can get back to 2019-20 form.
18. Cameron Tringale (+3300)
Averaging 1.12 SG: Putting per round through three events and 10 rounds early in the 2020-21 season. Coming off a T-19 finish at the Shriners.
17. Emiliano Grillo (+3300)
Has made eight straight cuts with two top 10s since late July. He’s averaging 0.76 SG: Approach over his last four events.
16. Stewart Cink (+6600)
Won the Safeway Open with a score of minus-21 at the comparable Silverado Resort and Spa. He averaged 2.30 SG: Tee-to-Green at that event and will need to lean on the same skill here.
15. Sepp Straka (+5500)
Tied for 14th at the Safeway Open on a similar course and against stiffer competition for his best result since picking up three top 20s this summer.
14. Wesley Bryan (+5000)
Averaging 1.22 total strokes gained per round through six rounds to start the young season. Gaining 0.53 strokes per round on approach while recapturing an old strength.
13. Danny Willett (+5000)
Broke a slump of five straight missed cuts with a T-32 at the European Tour’s BMW PGA Championship. Needs to get his game in order ahead of the Masters.
12. Charley Hoffman (+2800)
Tied for sixth at the Sanderson Farms Championship before a missed cut at the Shriners. Has struggled on approach through four events this season.
11. Kristoffer Ventura (+3300)
Has been riding a hot putting stroke with a T-7 at the Safeway Open and a T-6 at the Sanderson Farms Championship. Won twice on the KFT last year and is playing similar competition this week.
10. Justin Suh (+4500)
The forgotten man of the star-studded 2019 PGA Tour rookie class will look to get a step closer to Matthew Wolff, Viktor Hovland and Collin Morikawa. Tied for eighth at the Shriners last time out.
9. Rasmus Hojgaard (+4000)
Won the European Tour’s ISPS HANDA UK Championship in late August but has missed the cut in two of four events since.
8. Henrik Norlander (+4000)
Has struggled around the greens early this season but has averaged 0.39 SG: Off-the-Tee per round. Neither driving distance nor accuracy is too important at Port Royal.
7. Aaron Wise (+3300)
One of the few returning members of the 2019 field. Tied for third last year and more recently finished eighth at the Barracuda Championship.
6. Will Zalatoris (+1100)
The top player in the field by the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings and has three top-10 finishes in four events since moving up from the Korn Ferry Tour.
5. Harold Varner III (+2200)
Gaining 1.38 total strokes per round on the field through his last two events. Leads the Tour in Birdie or Better Percentage through eight rounds.
4. Denny McCarthy (+2500)
Tied for sixth at the Sanderson Farms Championship before a 57th-place result at the Shriners. He’s averaging 0.91 SG: Putting per round.
3. Doc Redman (+2800)
Two T-3s and two missed cuts in his last five events. He’s averaging 0.95 SG: Approach over his last 10 rounds.
2. Henrik Stenson (+4000)
The marquee attraction of the Bermuda Championship is likely to be more focused on his preparations for the Masters, but there’s no denying he could run away with this tournament if he’s fully focused.
1. Brendon Todd (+1400)
The 2019 champ also won the Mayakoba Golf Classic in his next event but has just one top 10 on the 2020 calendar year.
