Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole Butterfield Bermuda Championship payout thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey. I wanted to get a good handle on how much these golfers are actually taking home, especially the winner. Turns out, it’s a pretty penny!
Getting Started
First, I had to figure out where to even look for this info. Started with a basic Google search, just typing in “Bermuda Championship payout.” Boom, tons of results. But not all of them were super clear or gave me the full picture. I wanted the nitty-gritty details, you know?
Diving Deeper
I clicked around on a few different articles. Some were newsy, some were more stats-heavy. I started noticing a pattern: most of them mentioned that the total purse for the tournament is $6.9 million. That’s a big chunk of change! Then I saw that the winner gets a cool $1.242 million of that. Not bad for a week’s work, right?
Finding the Winner
The articles kept mentioning this guy, Rafael Campos, as the winner. Apparently, he shot a final-round 68 and ended up at 19-under-par. He beat some other guy, Andrew Novak, by two shots. So, Campos is the one walking away with that $1.242 million. Lucky him!
Breaking it Down
Now, I was curious about the other players too. I mean, $1.242 million out of $6.9 million leaves a lot for everyone else. I found out that 15 other players made over $100,000. So, even if you don’t win, you’re still doing pretty well if you’re playing in this tournament.
Comparing to Other Tournaments
One of the articles mentioned that this payout is considered “modest” for a PGA Tour event. I guess compared to, say, the U.S. Open, it is. I saw that the U.S. Open winner this year is getting $4.3 million! That’s like, more than three times what Campos got. But hey, $1.242 million is still a ton of money in my book.
Final Thoughts
So, after all this digging, I feel like I’ve got a pretty good grasp on the Bermuda Championship payouts. It’s definitely a lucrative tournament, especially for the winner. I mean, who wouldn’t want to make over a million bucks for playing golf for a week? And it’s interesting to see how it stacks up against other big tournaments. Maybe next year I’ll try to follow the tournament live, now that I know how much is on the line!
- Total purse: $6.9 million
- Winner’s share: $1.242 million
- Winner: Rafael Campos
- Other top earners: 15 players made over $100,000
That’s my little adventure into the world of golf payouts. Hope you found it as interesting as I did!
