Adam Schenk claimed his first career title on the PGA Tour. The American won the Butterfield Bermuda Championship at the Port Royal Golf Course (par 71) in Southampton Parish, Bermuda, with a total of 272 (69, 65, 67, 71, -12). He narrowly edged out fellow American Chandler Phillips, who finished second with a 273 (-11), ahead of four other Americans: Alex Smalley, Vince Whaley, Frankie Capan III, and Max McGrevy, all third with 274 (-10), along with Japan's Takumi Kanaya.

Regarding the Italians, Francesco Molinari finished 34th with a 283 (72, 68, 69, 74, -1), ahead of Matteo Manassero, who finished 61st with a 290 (72, 70, 74, +6).
Runner-up in both the Valspar Championship and the Charles Schwab Challenge in 2023, Schenk, at the age of 33 years, 9 months, and 21 days, and on his 241st attempt, managed to celebrate his first victory on the top American circuit. This feat allowed him to climb from 134th to 67th place in the FedEx Cup Fall. And now, thanks to this exploit, he has earned a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour, as well as the chance to play in THE PLAYERS, the RBC Heritage, and the PGA Championship (one of the four men's golf Majors) in 2026. This victory also earned him $1,080,000 out of a total prize pool of $6,000,000.

The Rules of Golf are a set of standards and procedures by which the sport of golf should be played. They are jointly written and administered by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body of golf worldwide, except in the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association. An expert committee composed of members of the R&A and the USGA oversees and refines the rules every four years. The latest revision took effect on January 1, 2016. Amendments to the Rules of Golf are generally divided into two main categories: those that improve understanding and those that reduce penalties in certain cases to ensure balance. The rulebook, entitled "Rules of Golf," is published regularly and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy, the Italian Golf Federation is responsible for overseeing competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R&A, ensuring that these rules are observed by clubs, associations, and their members, and managing the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
