Private Jet Club Partners with Butterfield Bermuda Championship for 2026 PGA TOUR Event
Why It MattersThe deal signals growing use of dedicated group charters to solve player-logistics bottlenecks around back-to-back PGA TOUR events on tight cross-border schedules.
Private Jet Club (PJC) has partnered with the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, a PGA TOUR event, ahead of its 2026 tournament at Port Royal Golf Course in Bermuda. The partnership covers player travel logistics along with marketing and editorial initiatives around tournament week.
At its core is a post-championship group charter flight: once play concludes, PJC will fly participating players and their support teams onward to the VidantaWorld Mexico Open, the next event on the PGA TOUR schedule, with capacity for up to 200 players and staff. PJC CEO Becky Ezekiel said this is the company's first year partnering with the Championship and that the collaboration extends beyond travel into wider initiatives, including a Bermudian touch and involvement of local businesses. Ezekiel's father, David, previously served as General Chairman for the first two years of the PGA of America's Grand Slam of Golf at the Mid Ocean Club in Bermuda.
Beyond the post-tournament charter, PJC and the Championship are exploring shared private flights into Bermuda for tournament week, letting players fly direct without independent chartering costs or commercial layovers. The two organisations will also collaborate on editorial content, including a Hole in One competition at the Pro-Am and a content series on Bermuda's place in professional golf, with additional articles planned through PJC's Altitude Journal. Championship Assistant Tournament Director Jevon Roberts welcomed the partnership, saying he had visited one of the jets players will charter and looked forward to PJC facilitating the return charter to Mexico.
