The 3rd Annual Talcott Cedarberry Bowl will take place from April 10th to 12th, 2026 at Mid Ocean Club, Five Forts Golf Club, and Newstead Belmont Hills, with this year’s event expected to be the largest local junior golf tournament in recent history.
Now in its third year, the tournament continues to grow in both scale and participation, bringing together Bermuda’s leading junior golfers while also creating opportunities for newer players to compete in a fun and supportive setting.
Talcott Financial Group joins the event this year as title sponsor, helping to support an enhanced tournament format and expanded venues.
Its support has also helped reduce entry fees, making the event more accessible and encouraging broader participation across Bermuda’s junior golf community.
The main championship will feature the island’s top junior golfers competing in a 54 hole stroke play tournament. 2-time champion, Oliver Betschart is joined by Arman Newton and Johnny Bart and will lead the field in the 16 to 18 division.
Additional stroke play divisions will include 14 to 15, 12 to 13, and 10 to 11age groups.
Alongside the championship competition, the event will again include a Novice Stableford division, with categories for Open Girls, 12 to 13, and 9 to 11. Novice players will compete over a reduced number of holes each day from restricted tees, a format designed to encourage development, confidence, and enjoyment.
Tournament Director Patrick Graham said the continued growth of the event reflects the positive momentum within junior golf in Bermuda. “The BGA is very proud to host this year’s tournament and grateful to the venues for allowing our juniors to experience their courses over the three days,” said Graham. “We already have 55 junior golfers registered, which is fantastic and represents a significant increase from last year’s field. The tournament is growing year on year, and we are sincerely thankful to our title sponsor, Talcott Financial Group, for coming onboard and helping to reduce entry fees, making participation more accessible for all junior golfers.
We also thank Butterfield Group for its continued support in providing welcome packs for the players, which is very much appreciated. "Registration remains open through the Bermuda Golf Association and Golf Genius website and will close on April 3rd, 2026.For more information or to register, visit the Bermuda Golf Association or Golf Genius event page.
