Justin Thomas announced via social media that he has undergone microdiscectomy surgery and will miss the start of the 2026 PGA Tour season. Thomas had suffered from nagging hip pain for several months and an MRI revealed a disc problem that was treated with a procedure at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. The 32-year-old is currently ranked eighth in the Official World Golf Ranking. His most recent win came at the RBC Heritage and he was a member of the United States Ryder Cup team in 2025. Thomas didn't put a timetable on his return, but we can conservatively expect him to miss some events at the start of the 2026 season.

Through 24 events this year, Sami Valimaki has recorded seven top-25 finishes, including a runner-up finish at the World Wide Technology Championship last week. He will look to keep that momentum going at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, where he is making his tournament debut. Port Royal Golf Course is short by PGA Tour standards, measuring just 6,868 yards, and will emphasize precise short approaches and overall strokes gained, especially with the high winds that typically come into play. Valimaki ranks 50th in total strokes gained (+0.476 strokes per round), 18th on approach (+0.505), and an impressive 11th in putting (+0.496). He also ranks first on tour in proximity from inside 100 yards out of the rough, but just 101st from the fairway for the same distance. Valimaki is riding momentum from last week's runner-up finish, and at $8,200 on DraftKings, he can be trusted as a solid piece of fantasy lineups.

Matthieu Pavon has struggled through 2025, recording just one finish inside the top 40 in 24 events, which came last week at the World Wide Technology Championship with a T31. He'll look to find some form at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, where he is making his debut. Port Royal Golf Course is short by PGA Tour standards, measuring just 6,800 yards, and will emphasize precise short approaches and overall strokes gained, especially with the high winds that typically come into play. Pavon ranks 163rd in total strokes gained (-0.939 per round), 163rd on approach (-0.421), and 84th in putting (+0.076). He's also 174th in par-4 scoring, averaging 4.10 strokes, and sits in just the 16th percentile in proximity from 50-100 yards, a key range on this shorter layout. While he posted his best result of the year last week, Pavon remains a very risky play, even at just $6,700 on DraftKings.

After two top-12 finishes in three events, Taylor Montgomery has taken a step backward, missing the cut in two straight starts. He'll look to get back on track at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, where he is making his course debut. Port Royal Golf Course is short by PGA Tour standards, measuring just 6,800 yards, and will emphasize precise short approaches and overall strokes gained, especially with the high winds that typically come into play. Montgomery ranks 65th in total strokes gained (+0.379 per round), 146th on approach (-0.239), and sits in just the 30th percentile in proximity from 50-100 yards, a key range on this shorter layout. His biggest tool is his putter, as he is second on tour in strokes gained putting (+0.899 per round). At $7,300 on DraftKings, Montgomery's short game boost value, but it may not be enough to put him in contention in a week where strong putting is expected across the field.

Ben Martin has had a rough 2025 season, making just seven cuts in 18 starts and posting only one finish inside the top 30. He's missed four straight cuts and six of his last eight overall, and will look to turn things around at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, where he finished T27 last year. Port Royal Golf Course is short by PGA Tour standards, measuring just 6,800 yards, and will emphasize precise short approaches and overall strokes gained, especially with the high winds that typically come into play. Martin ranks 131st in total strokes gained (-0.192 per round), 109th on approach (-0.051), and 75th in putting (+0.109). He's also 142nd in par-4 scoring, averaging 4.05 strokes, and sits in just the 33rd percentile in proximity from 50-100 yards, a key range for this course. While he's shown flashes of success in Bermuda before, his current form makes him a risky play even at a value price of $6,600 on DraftKings.

Mark Hubbard has put together a solid 2025 season with seven top-25 finishes and 19 made cuts in 29 starts, but his play has cooled off recently, with just one finish inside the top 40 and two missed cuts over his last four events. He'll look to regain some momentum at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, where he finished T3 last year. Port Royal Golf Course is short by PGA Tour standards, measuring just 6,800 yards, and will emphasize precise short approaches and overall strokes gained, especially with the high winds that typically come into play. Hubbard ranks 87th in total strokes gained (+0.217 per round), 81st on approach (+0.113), and 48th in putting (+0.197). He's also strong on shorter approach play, ranking in the 62nd percentile in proximity from 50-100 yards, a key range for this course. At $8,500 on DraftKings, this feels like a prime bounce-back spot for Hubbard and he's firmly in play for fantasy lineups.

Lee Hodges started the 2025 season playing solid golf, making six straight cuts and finishing inside the top 11 three times, but his form cooled as the year went on, with just nine made cuts in his next 18 events and no top-25 finishes since July's John Deere Classic. He'll look to get back on track this week at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, where he finished T71 in 2022. Port Royal Golf Course is short by PGA Tour standards, measuring just 6,800 yards, and will emphasize precise short approaches and overall strokes gained, especially with the high winds that typically come into play. Statistically, Hodges still lines up well for this course, ranking 39th in total strokes gained (+0.593 per round), 29th on approach (+0.425), and 13th in par-4 scoring. He's also in the 53rd percentile in proximity from 50-100 yards, an important range on this shorter layout. Despite his recent slump, Hodges has the game to bounce back here, making him a solid mid-tier option at $7,500 on DraftKings.

Patrick Fishburn's 2025 season has been a roller coaster, with four top-10 finishes but cuts made in just half of his 28 starts. He found a groove earlier in the year with eight consecutive made cuts, but has failed to reach the weekend in his last two events. He'll look to regain form at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, where he finished T41 in his only previous appearance back in 2020. Port Royal Golf Course is short by PGA Tour standards, measuring just 6,868 yards, and will emphasize precise short approaches and overall strokes gained, especially with the high winds that typically come into play. Fishburn ranks 57th in total strokes gained (+0.447 per round), 75th on approach (+0.129), and 71st in putting. He's also 24th in par-4 scoring (3.98) but sits in the 26th percentile in proximity from 50-100 yards, a key range given the course's layout. At $7,600 on DraftKings, Fishburn profiles as a boom-or-bust option in Bermuda this week.

Eric Cole has put together a solid 2025 campaign, recording eight top-25 finishes in 30 starts, including two top-10s in his last three events. He'll look to keep that momentum going at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, where he missed the cut in 2023. Port Royal Golf Course is short by PGA Tour standards, measuring just 6,868 yards, and will emphasize precise short approaches and overall strokes gained, especially with the high winds that typically come into play. Cole ranks 106th in total strokes gained (+0.016 per round), 70th in approach (+0.150), and 47th in putting (+0.207). He's also in the 78th percentile in proximity from 50-100 yards, a key range given the course's shorter layout. At $8,400 on DraftKings, Cole's recent form and skill set make him a strong option for fantasy lineups in Bermuda.
