Thank you to all volunteers – the essential champions of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship!”
The spokesperson said, “The BF&M Volunteer Programme is open to anyone 18 years of age and older. Golf knowledge isn’t required and the tournament has a variety of opportunities for both golfers and non-golfers alike.

This role is available on the Saturday and Sunday of tournament week. It is a popular choice and positions fill up quickly.”

Once again we welcomed the largest volunteer force to the event in 2023, which speaks to the overall growth of the event.” said Tournament Director, Danielle Carrera, “We encourage volunteers to register and donate their on behalf of a charity to maximize impact. Register early, sign up with friends, and come and enjoy the fun!”
The spokesperson said, “Volunteers are asked to work a minimum of three shifts, which range from four to six hours each, depending on the committee. There is the option for volunteers to have an even greater impact by chosing to donate their time on behalf of a registered charity, which will see the chosen charity receive $200.
