XPT Specialty is thrilled to celebrate brand ambassador Adam Schenk’s first career PGA Tour victory at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship this past Sunday. After 243 starts on the PGA Tour, Adam’s perseverance and determination paid off spectacularly as he captured his breakthrough win in Southampton, Bermuda.
Schenk closed out the tournament with a final-round of 71 in ruthlessly windy conditions, finishing at 12-under par to claim the title by one stroke. The victory was especially meaningful given the challenges Adam faced heading into the tournament; he was on the verge of losing his PGA Tour card and needed a strong finish to secure his spot for the 2026 season. Instead of just surviving, Adam thrived, delivering clutch performances throughout the week to earn his first Tour victory.
The conditions at Port Royal Golf Course tested every player, with wind gusts reaching up to 40 mph that Adam himself described as “laughable at times”, according to the press. Players were forced to punch countless shots below the breeze just to keep the ball under control. But as Sports Illustrated and Golf.com reported, Adam remained unflappable, showcasing the mental toughness and adaptability that have defined his career.
A Journey of Resilience
Adam’s path to this victory embodies the values we champion at XPT Specialty: determination, precision under pressure, and the resilience to navigate complex challenges.

Adam’s professionalism, competitive spirit, and commitment to excellence align perfectly with the values we strive to embody every day at XPT Specialty.”
