Rosewood Bermuda, the island’s premier luxury resort, is hosting its first annual signature golf tournament, ‘The Rosewood Cup,’ November 25th – 27th, 2022. In celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday and in the spirit of thankfulness and gratitude, this first of its kind event was created to bring together local Bermudians and public non-pro players, members and residence owners of Tucker's Point and guests of Rosewood Bermuda for a multi-day event that will honor the local community and international guests while igniting excitement and creating long-lasting memories through the game of golf.

THE ROSEWOOD CUP TROPHY

 

The most notable prize of all will be the custom-made trophy, awarded to the winner of the Rosewood Cup, which will remain on display at Tucker’s Point Club with the recipient having the opportunity to defend their championship title each subsequent year. 

 

Dwayne Pearman Jr., or DJ, the Head Pro of Tucker’s Point Golf Course, has longstanding family ties with the golf course and is the commissioning leader of Rosewood Cup.  Starting as a cart attendant in 2013 and working his way up to Head Pro in 2022, DJ runs all events, junior programs and lessons at the club. His father, Dwayne Pearman Sr., inspired DJ’s passion for golf as a young boy through his friendship with then-Head Pro Walter King, who allowed use of the driving range and practice area, which was well restricted at the time.  Dwayne Sr. went on to turn pro in 1986 and won many of Bermuda’s major events, including the Bermuda Open and the Belmont Invitational, to name a few.  DJ’s uncle, Sheridan “Bally” Ming, a local carpenter specializing in cabinets, chairs, and more, has been asked with great honor to create the bespoke trophy for Rosewood Cup. The trophy itself will be adorned with a fine-crystal globe, but Bally is ensuring Bermudian ‘Sense of Place’ in the piece by crafting a base of authentic Bermuda Cedar, re-claimed from natural timber fallen within Tucker’s Point grounds. An engravable plaque will be updated each year with the championship winner’s name.  

 

 

CHARITABLE PARTNER

Another highlight of Rosewood Bermuda’s Rosewood Cup is the ongoing commitment to uplifting Bermudian families and communities through an existing partnership with The Family Centre, an accredited nonprofit organization dedicated to improving families’ lives by sharing resources, and know-how to ensure that citizens have safe, clean housing, and are not neglected. Rosewood Bermuda will continue its support of the Family Centre by donating proceeds to the foundation from auctioned prize items.

 

 

“We are blown away by the positive responses we’ve received since announcing the Rosewood Cup, with nearly selling out two months prior to the championship,” says Sascha Hemmann, Managing Director of Rosewood Bermuda. “It is our goal that this annual event will bring together locals, members and guests for years to come, supporting our vision of long-lasting comradery.  We see this tournament as an introduction for a new generation to enjoy and learn about Tucker’s Point, and are so grateful to have the opportunity to maintain our long-standing support of our community and The Family Centre through this event.” 

 

Rosewood Bermuda would like to thank all sponsors (Rayclan Bermuda, Goslings Rum, Wakefield Quin, Skyport, The Tasting Room and Enjoysimons) along with their fellow Rosewood properties for their support of the inaugural Rosewood Cup.
