Second in SG: OTT at Bermuda Championship Ford carded a three-under 68 on Saturday at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship to finish nine-under and tied for 25th.

Impact Ford's final round at Port Royal was highlighted by an eagle on the par-5 17th hole where his approach shot from 191 yards out settled within 20 feet of the cup. He ultimately finished the event ranked second among the field in SG: Off-the-Tee and sixth in SG: Ballstriking, but he lost 2.85 strokes with the flat stick in Bermuda. Ford improves to No. 121 in the FedExCup Fall standings after back-to-back top-25 results, and he'll peg it again this week at Vidanta Vallarta for his Mexico Open debut.

He ranked fourth among the field in SG: Ballstriking en route to 24 total birdies and an eagle in Utah, but he also paced the event in scrambling. Ford improves 34 spots to No. 124 in the FedExCup Fall standings with the T3 finish.

Top-15 showing at The Amex Ford fired a seven-under 65 on Sunday to surge into a share of 13th place at The American Express.

Impact Ford played with Blades Brown the first three rounds, and while the 18-year-old stole most of the headlines, it was Ford who ultimately finished a shot ahead after 72 holes. Ford made up 24 spots in the final round with his 65 on Sunday. It was a struggle the second half of 2025 for the top player on the PGA Tour University rankings outside of a T3 in Utah, but he gained a lot of great experience and seems to be starting to put things together. Ford is fully exempt on Tour this year and being able to stay in the Top 100 would be very impressive for his rookie season. This is a great way to get things rolling in January. Ford will tee it up at Torrey Pines next week.
