The Bermuda Championship is scheduled for Oct.
31-Nov. 3 at Port Royal Golf Course, the PGA Tour said in a
statement.
The tournament represents the PGA Tour's first official annual
event on the island.
Port Royal Golf Course held the now-defunct PGA Grand Slam of
Golf, an offseason event that brought together the winners of
the season's four majors, from 2009-14.
"Bermuda is an appealing year-round destination, and the players
will love visiting in the fall, plus we will be hosted by an
outstanding golf course," said Ty Votaw, Executive Vice
President, International for the PGA Tour.
According to the PGA Tour, the Bermuda Tourism Authority has
signed a five-year agreement, through 2023, as the title sponsor
of the event.
The tournament will have $3 million purse and offer 300 FedExCup
points to the champion.
