Scott returns to Bermuda after 10 years seeking another win

MIAMI — Australian Adam Scott returns to Bermuda this week trying to snap a three-year title drought on the same course where he won a showdown of major winners 10 years ago.

The 43-year-old from Adelaide will be a favourite when the US PGA Tour’s Bermuda Championship tees off on Thursday at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton. World No. 45 Scott is playing in the event, part of the PGA’s fall schedule aimed at finalising tour status for next year, in hopes of qualifying for a few more events after missing last season’s play-offs. Scott, who managed four top-10 showings in the 2022-23 season, has 31 worldwide wins, including 14 on the PGA Tour, but his most recent victory came in 2020 at Riviera.

Scott will return to his homeland for the Australian PGA Championship in two weeks at Brisbane and compete in the Australian Open the following week in Sydney.

”Then I get to stay home for about five weeks after that before heading out early in the new year to play and settle back in Europe and then come out and play on the tour,” Scott said. “It’s always nice, especially after long stretches like this year, to be away all year and get to go home and enjoy six or seven weeks at home.”
