Willie Mack III is an APGA Tour star who won the Butterfield Bermuda APGA Championship last week in Southampton, Bermuda. He has been granted an exemption to the PGA TOUR’s Butterfield Bermuda Championship, which will take place at the end this month. Mack, the two-time APGA Tour Player Of The Year, has more than 70 wins in professional golf. He also made two PGA TOUR cuts. In a three-way playoff, Mack won the APGA Tour event at Bermuda on Oct. 12. He was shocked when he received an exemption at the awards ceremony that day. The fourth-year anniversary of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship will be held at Port Royal Golf Course, Southampton. This is where Mack won his first PGA Tour event. Last year, Lucas Herbert won his first PGA TOUR tournament at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. In 2019, the Bermuda Championship was the first PGA TOUR event. It was a huge surprise. It’s great to be back in Bermuda in a few weeks,” Mack, 34, said. He will be playing in the final stage Korn Ferry Tour Q School next week at Plantation Preserve Golf Club, Plantation, Florida. “Port Royal is a fantastic golf course, and my experience with the APGA Tour this week will definitely help in the Butterfield Bermuda Championship versus the best players on the PGA TOUR. He said, “Special thanks” to the Bermuda Tourism Authority and Butterfield Group, Hamilton Princess and Beach Club, Life & Annuity Services, and the Hamilton Tourism Authority for their special consideration. Mack is looking forward to meeting everyone again this month. He has been a sponsor exemption for five PGA TOUR events since last year when he was able to make the cut at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, and the John Deere Classic. He also advanced to weekend competition at the Korn Ferry’s BMW Charity Classic Pro-Am last June.
