Tourists looking for some top golf action in a slightly sunnier climate next autumn may be advised to take a trip to Bermuda.

The news comes as the island gets set to host the Professional Golfers Association's (PGA) Grand Slam event, reports Travel Daily News.

From October 17th, the winners of the year's Masters, US Open, British Open and PGA Championship tournaments will compete at Bermuda's Mid Ocean Club and Fairmont Southampton resorts.

Minister of Tourism and Transport Ewart Brown told the publication: "Bermuda has long been known as a golfer's paradise, worthy of the best players in the world.

"For an island with more golf courses per square mile than anywhere else in the world, this tournament will showcase Bermuda as a world-class golf destination."

Last year's Grand Slam event in Hawaii was won by Tiger Woods.

According to Golf Digest, the Mid Ocean Club was reported to be the world's 45th best golf course in the world outside of the United States.
