High wind cancels play at Bermuda Championship with Smotherman and Power tied for lead

The final round of the 2026 Butterfield Bermuda Championship was canceled on Sunday due to strong winds at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda. The PGA Tour announced the postponement, with gusts of more than 40 miles per hour expected during the day. The organization stated it would provide an update by 4 p.m. ET on the same day regarding the resumption of play for Monday.

Monday's forecast predicts winds from 15-20 miles per hour, with occasional gusts up to 30 and some showers. The next PGA Tour event, Vidanta Vallarta in Mexico, is scheduled to begin on Thursday. No play is anticipated today, as the current weather conditions do not show signs of improvement and further deterioration is expected.

The last Monday finish on the PGA Tour was during the Travelers event earlier in the season, where Viktor Hovland defeated Scottie Scheffler in a playoff. Austin Smotherman and Seamus Power are currently tied for the top spot on the leaderboard at 16 under after one round. Taylor Moore, Corey Conners, and Ben Silverman share third place, two shots behind.

The PGA Tour has not canceled a full day of play since 2024 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, when Sunday's final round was postponed and eventually canceled the following day following a storm that devastated the Monterey Peninsula. Wyndham Clark was named champion after a record-setting 60 in the third round, putting him in the lead.
