Three things to know about the PGA Tour's Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
▪️ Rafael Campos won last year's title just seven days after the birth of he and his wife’s first child, and became the second Puerto Rico native to win on the PGA Tour — the first since Chi Chi Rodriguez (eight wins between 1963-1979).
▪️ The Butterfield Bermuda Championship is being played for the seventh time with three past champions in the field: Seamus Power (2022), Camilo Villegas (2023), Rafael Campos (2024).
▪️ Each of the six past champions were three or more strokes behind after the opening round and rallied to win.
