As the 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship kicks off at Port Royal Golf Course, the real competition might not just be between the 120 players. Bad weather is set to join the game, with forecasts predicting a mix of sun, clouds, showers, and gusty winds. This isn't new; weather woes have already caused issues in other tournaments like the LPGA and Wyndham Championship. Here's what to expect day by day. The first day starts breezy and sunny, but clouds take over by evening. Temperatures hover from 60s to 70s, with winds up to 37 mph. Fast forward to day two, and it's all about clouds and showers. Wind speeds decrease to 20-23 mph, but gusts can hit 21-38 mph. Hold onto your hats, because day three is the real test. High precipitation and wind gusts up to 55 mph are forecasted. The finale hasn't been left out; sunny conditions and wind gusts of 35-40 mph make it a tough finish. Great golfers like Lucas Glover, Séamus Power, and Camilo Villegas are ready for the challenge. Even Daniel Berger is here, aiming to keep his PGA Tour card. The $6. 9M prize is huge, so laying low until the storm passes won't cut it. Players need to adapt quickly to the weather from the get-go.
