Winds exceeding 40 mph force event to be shortened to 54 holes
Noh Seung-yul climbs eight spots to 181st in FedEx Cup standings
Co-leaders Smotherman and Power set for playoff

The fourth round of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, a PGA Tour event with a total purse of $6 million, was canceled.


The PGA Tour announced on October 26 (Korea time) that strong winds had swept through Port Royal Golf Course (par 71) in Southampton, Bermuda, making it impossible to play. Stin Smotherman of the United States and Seamus Power of Ireland, who shared the lead at 16-under 197 through three rounds, will decide the winner in a playoff. The playoff is scheduled for 9 a.m. local time. The last time a PGA Tour event was shortened to 54 holes was at the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Winds of more than 40 miles per hour (about 64 km/h) were blowing that morning, and none of the 72 players who made the cut was able to start the final round. A few hours later, the PGA Tour decided to cancel the fourth round and shorten the event to 54 holes.



Meanwhile, Noh Seung-yul finished tied for 17th after the event was shortened to 54 holes because of severe weather. He climbed eight spots in the FedEx Cup standings, from 189th before the tournament to 181st. Noh must finish in the top 100 in the four remaining Fall Series events to secure his PGA Tour card for next year.
