Andrew Brooks, a leader at Bond Golf Global and director of golf during the revitalization of Bermuda’s Port Royal Golf Course, played a crucial role in hosting four successful PGA Grand Slam of Golf events. The tournament, featuring the winners of the four major championships, became a showcase for the best in men’s golf and cemented Port Royal as a world-class destination.
The 2009 PGA Grand Slam surpassed expectations under Brooks’ leadership, drawing more than 4,000 attendees on the final day and receiving glowing praise from the PGA of America and broadcaster TNT. “We’ve set a standard for next year, and if Tiger Woods joins us, the crowd could easily double,” Brooks shared, highlighting the excitement around the event.
Port Royal’s challenging design was praised by major champions, dispelling concerns that the course might play too easily. “These players used every club in their bags, proving the course’s design is both strategic and well-rounded,” Brooks noted. The event not only delighted fans by bringing them closer to top players but also generated immense interest in Bermuda as a golf destination.
“The Grand Slam was about more than just Port Royal—it was about promoting golf in Bermuda,” Brooks explained. The event’s success led to a surge in bookings, with international visitors eager to play the course. This widespread interest fulfilled the tournament’s mission to showcase Bermuda as a premier golfing destination.
