Gordon Sergeant was fully prepared to tee it up at this week’s Butterfield Bermuda Championship, but the rising star made a surprising decision to withdraw on Thursday morning just moments before his scheduled start. Sergeant had been paired with Samuel Anderson and Andrew Zalinsky for the opening round with a trio slated to go off at 8:39 a.m. local time. But only an hour before heading to the first tea, PGA Tour Communications announced that Sergeant had officially pulled out of the event, stepping in as the first alternate was veteran Scott Piery, who was already on site and ready to replace Sergeant. With the Bermuda event serving as the penultimate tournament on the FedEx Cup fall schedule, it carries massive implications for players fighting to secure their PGA Tour cards for 2026. The stakes are particularly high this season as the tour has tightened its qualification criteria, dropping the cutoff from the top 125 to the top 100 in the FedEx Cup standings. While many players in the field are battling for survival, Sergeant sits at 204th in the rankings, but remains secure. His standout performance in PGA Tour University earned him a multi-year exemption, protecting his status through the 2026 season. Sergeant, 22, locked in his PGA Tour membership after a stellar 2023 college campaign. He returned to school to finish out his senior year, then officially turned professional in June 2025. Since his debut, he has made 10 PGA Tour starts, most recently finishing T59 at the Worldwide Technology Championship. This week’s WD is not Sergeant’s first premature exit in recent weeks. Just 3 weeks ago, he withdrew from the Bank of Utah Championship after an opening 71 at Black Desert Resort, a decision attributed to a hand injury. However, the cause of his withdrawal in Bermuda remains unclear, leaving fans and analysts waiting for updates on the young phenom status.
