Golf expert bettor, Craig Edwards (@EdwardsTips_), brings his best bets for the 2025 Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
Royal Port Golf Course: Course Notes
- Date: Nov 13–16, 2025
- Location: Southampton, Bermuda
- Par/Yards: Par 71, 6828 yards
This is one of the shortest and quirkiest tests on the PGA Tour, with a penchant for a big-priced winner, given that four of the earlier six champions have been +10000 or more.
Set just under 200 feet above sea level, the course’s only real defence is inclement or windy conditions. Bermuda greens are on the small side, and with half the course being links, those players comfortable in those conditions can excel.
It could be a Suber week for Jackson!
I am wondering if Jackson Suber will be the surprise package this week on his course debut in Bermuda.
The twenty-six-year-old from Florida has put together back-to-back top 20 finishes in his last two events for the first time in his rookie season, which has promised much.
The harbinger of why we are betting on Suber here is his opening event of 2025. At the Sony Open, where he finished an eye-catching 6th.
There are several reasons to believe that results and course conditions in Hawaii for the Sony at Waialae correlate with this Royal Port track in Southampton.
Suber has struggled to make cuts in the big league, with thirteen missed cuts in his 24 starts since. Factor in his last two top 20 finishes that bring his FedEx fall ranking to #117, and you have a young player with maximum motivation this week.
We are suggesting taking Jackson Suber for a third top 20 in succession at our recommended sportsbook, BetOnline, which specialises in those prop markets, along with a speculative small bet on a longshot win.
Jackson Suber’s Picks:
- Jackson Suber to Win (+7500)
- Jackson Suber to Finish Top 20 (+300)
Will It Finally Be Patrick Rodgers’ Time?
Patrick Rodgers must be one of the most accomplished players to have never won on the PGA Tour.
We have seen in recent months how perennial bridesmaids like Tommy Fleetwood and Cameron Young have finally managed to make the winner’s circle. Well, there are solid reasons why Rodgers might make a good run at winning this week.
His course affinity in Bermuda has seen him accumulate three top-10 finishes here over the last three times he has teed off in Southampton.
Consider that the Indiana-born star looked in good nick last week in Mexico when finishing 6th, and we have a strong look that he breaks his maiden tag. So let’s take Patrick Rodgers in the win and top 10 bets at Bovada.
Patrick Rodgers’ Picks:
- Patrick Rodgers to Win (+2500)
- Patrick Rodgers to Finish Top 10 (+300)
A Whale Prop Bet in Bermuda
Vince Whaley is the perfect example of a “journeyman” PGA Tour grinder, like selections such as Greyson Sigg and Justin Lower have been in recent weeks. Whaley is a player yet to win but is still ultra-consistent and reliable at earning big cheques on tour.
Whaley’s previous efforts at this quirky course are outstanding, and his last three top 10s in succession here are among his top 25 career efforts, suggesting this is his favourite course.
With his lead-up form looking strong after a 17th-place finish last week in Mexico, there is only upside in supporting the thirty-year-old from Kentucky this week in Bermuda.
The suggestions are to have two strong bets on Vince Whaley for a top 20 and top 10 finish this week at BetOnline, along with a more speculative play that Whaley finally lands a first PGA Tour title.
Vince Whaley’s Picks:
- Vince Whaley to Finish Top 20 (+150)
- Vince Whaley to Finish Top 10 (+333)
- Vince Whaley to Win (+3300)
