The PGA Tour travels back almost halfway across the globe this week for the Bermuda Championship. With this being near the end of the PGA Tour calendar year with nothing but minor tournaments remaining, most of the top 100 players in the world are choosing not to make the trip, and many will not play again until 2022. This leaves us with one of the worst field strengths of the year. It is tempting to cross most of the entire bottom half of the field off the list right at the start, but there is one “X-factor” that should not be ignored or passed over lightly—the wind. Last year, winds blew consistently in the 15-35 MPH range, which resulted in the average player score finishing above par. The forecast for this week calls for more of the same. Past performance on Windy/Coastal courses is heavily weighted in the model this week.
