The PGA Tour heads to Bermuda this week for the Bermuda Championship, but none of the top players in the world are making the trip. Defending champion Brendon Todd is the only player ranked in the Top 50 in the latest World Rankings in the field. I am coming off a 3-3 week with the matchups at the ZOZO Championship. Let’s look at the matchups and picks for the Bermuda Championship.
Venue: Port Royal GC, Southampton, Bermuda
This course is a short par 71 that was designed by Robert Trent Jones. The 16th hole is a signature hole, as it is located on top of the hills that overlook the Atlantic Ocean.

Golf Matchup Picks
Will Zalatoris -120 vs. Brendon Todd
I have been high on Todd over the past year or so, but he has not played that well recently. I know he is the defending champion, but his form simply isn’t good enough to put him into the top contender category. Zalatoris has been very consistent of late and is close to gaining temporary PGA Tour status. He tied for 5th in his last start at the Shriners. I will take Zalatoris in this matchup against Todd.
Doc Redman -115 vs. Harold Varner III
Redman has tied for 3rd twice in two of his last five starts. He has seven finishes in the Top 30 since June. He is excellent in terms of tee-to-green and should flourish on this course. Varner tied for 13th at the Shriners and he is capable of getting hot, but he is also very inconsistent. I will take Redman in this matchup against Varner.
Tyler McCumber -120 vs. Doug Ghim
It wasn’t pretty for McCumber at TPC Summerlin but he finished second at Corales and he tied for 6th at the Sanderson Farms. McCumber has played well on coastal courses in the past and I expect him to play well this week. I will lay the small price and take McCumber in this matchup against Ghim.
Peter Malnati -115 vs. Charley Hoffman
Malnati tied for 2nd at the Sanderson Farms and tied for 5th at the Shriners. He leads the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained: Putting. Hoffman has played better of late, but he is still nowhere near where he was a few years ago. I will take Malnati in this matchup against Hoffman.
Kristoffer Ventura -120 vs. Aaron Wise
Ventura missed the cut at the Shriners, but overall he has played well with four top 10 finishes in his last 12 starts. He has seven Top 25 finishes. He ranks fifth in All-Around on the PGA Tour. Wise has been inconsistent of late with a number of missed cuts. He did play well last year in this event, but I like Ventura in this matchup against Wise
Justin Suh -115 vs. Rasmus Hojgaard
Suh has played well lately on the PGA Tour with a tie for 14th at Corales and a tie for 8th at the Shriners. He looks to be a player on his way up and if you read my odds preview you know I like his chances this week. I will take him in this matchup against Hojgaard.
