Why are Alex Noren and other golfers wearing ‘three hearts’ at Bermuda Championship? Real reason explored  

In the ongoing Bermuda Championship at the Port Royal Golf Course, Alex Noren, the top player on the leaderboard, alongside a few other golfers, was spotted wearing 'three hearts' on his hat. The hearts are sequenced in red, gold, and green colors.

While Michael Sims had the 'three hearts' on the center of his hat, the leader of the tournament, Alex Noren, had it on the left side of his hat. However, this got fans scratching their heads and searching for why the golfers were wearing those hats.

Well, to answer that, they are wearing it for Brian Morris, a native of Bermuda and also a folk hero for the island. The former professional golfer made his PGA Tour debut in the 2021 edition of the Bermuda Championship. He used to text with his symbolic 'three hearts' emoji and was often recognized for the same.

In January 2023, Morris passed away after battling cancer. To honor the hero, players like Alex Noren, Michael Sims (who is Brian Morris' cousin), and a few others wore the 'three hearts' on their hats.

The assistant tournament director of the Bermuda Championship, Jevon Robert, shared that they have given all the players the iconic 'three hearts' pin to honor their island's most loved hero, Brian Morris. He was quoted by Golf.com as saying,

"When Brian left in January, we thought the best way that we can honor him is by putting his emblem in as many places as possible. So for all to honor Brian, we have given all the players pins so that they can wear them in his honor."
