The pristine fairways of the Ocean View Golf Course are set to provide the backdrop for the highly anticipated ninth edition of the Johnnie Walker Golf Classic. Scheduled to take place over the weekend of September 19th and 20th, the tournament has firmly established itself as a cornerstone of the Bermudian golfing calendar, drawing a diverse field of the island's most formidable players.
The championship is structured across three distinct categories, ensuring a high level of competition in the Professional, Amateur, and Senior Amateur divisions. As the local golfing community looks ahead to the 2026 event, memories remain fresh of the masterclass delivered during the previous outing. The 2025 edition was defined by the relentless consistency of Quinton Sherlock Jr., who secured a remarkable wire-to-wire victory. Sherlock’s dominance throughout the weekend earned him the right to don the coveted yellow jacket, a symbol of excellence that has become synonymous with this historic Classic.
While Sherlock took the headlines in the professional ranks, the 2025 tournament also showcased the depth of talent across the other divisions. Fraser Hunt emerged as the standout performer in the Amateur field, clinching a well-deserved victory through a combination of power and precision. In the Senior Division, Craig Christensen demonstrated that experience remains a vital asset at Ocean View, navigating the challenging course layout to claim the top spot.
The women's game was also represented with distinction, as Ebonie Cox finished as the Ladies Division top performer, further highlighting the inclusive nature of the event. As preparations for the ninth installment reach their final stages, the focus returns to who will have the tactical discipline and mental fortitude to navigate the coastal breezes of Devonshire and claim their own piece of Johnnie Walker history.
