By Glenn Ferguson – Bahamas Wedding Planner/ Bahamas Real Estate Agent & Residency Consultant

As someone who’s spent more than two decades helping couples tie the knot in the Bahamas, I’ve seen my fair share of romantic stories unfold on our shores—but few fascinate me more than when PGA Tour golfers, especially Masters champions, choose our islands as the setting for their most meaningful moments.

With the 2025 Masters Tournament now underway in Augusta, it’s the perfect time to reflect on a lesser-known side of the game: the golfers who got married in the Bahamas. These aren't just stories about trophies and titles—but about love, lifestyle, and the Bahamas as a sanctuary for the sport’s elite.

Adam Scott: A Green Jacket and a Bahamian “I Do”

When Masters champion Adam Scott won at Augusta in 2013, the world saw a career-defining moment. But what many people don’t know is that just a year later, he marked a personal milestone by marrying Swedish architect Marie Kojzar right here in the Bahamas. 

Their 2014 wedding was the definition of understated elegance—a private ceremony held in the backyard of Adam’s Albany Bahamas home, far from the flashbulbs and headlines. No tux, no fanfare. Just love, serenity, and the sound of the ocean nearby. As a wedding planner in the Bahamas, I can tell you: this is exactly why high-profile couples love it here. Get the scoop -  Adam Scott's Albany Bahamas Wedding

Tommy Fleetwood: Fairways, Family & Island Romance

English golfer Tommy Fleetwood followed a similar path when he married Clare Craig, who also happens to be his manager, in December 2017. Their intimate destination wedding in the Bahamas combined family, focus, and that unmistakable tropical magic.

What stands out to me about their story is the balance—they didn’t just celebrate their marriage; they celebrated their teamwork. That’s something I see all the time with couples who come here for a destination wedding: they’re not just in love—they’re partners building a life together. And the Bahamas gives them a peaceful space to start that journey.

Why the Bahamas is the PGA’s Favorite Wedding Destination

So why are golfers choosing the Bahamas for their weddings? It’s simple: privacy, beauty, and ease.

As a WPIC-certified Bahamas wedding planner, I’ve helped everyone from high-net-worth executives to globe-trotting athletes design custom wedding experiences—on private islands, beachfront villas, or secluded coves in Nassau, Exuma, and Eleuthera.

The Bahamas offers:

• Discreet villa venues and private resorts
• Year-round warm weather and golden sunsets
• Direct flights from the U.S., Canada, and Europe
• Quick legal marriage process (even same-week weddings)
• Concierge wedding planning with local expertise

It’s the ideal escape for couples who want elegance without the spotlight.

The Masters & Marriage: Two Games of Focus and Heart

Watching the 2025 Masters Tournament, it’s easy to get caught up in the leaderboard. But as I reflect on the stories of golfers like Adam Scott and Tommy Fleetwood, I see another layer: how their most cherished memories aren’t just in the fairways—they’re here, in the sand and sea of the Bahamas.

For golfers, the game is about precision, patience, and passion. And honestly? So is marriage. That’s why a Bahamas destination wedding isn’t just a celebration—it’s a reset, a reconnection, and a beautiful beginning.
