The Bahamas Great Exuma Classic is a golf tournament on the Korn Ferry Tour, currently played on The Ocean Course at Atlantis on Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas. It is one of two Korn Ferry Tour events in the Bahamas, along with The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic. Both events were first played in January 2017 starting on a Sunday and finishing on a Wednesday, rather than the standard Thursday–Sunday schedule.
Due to high winds in the inaugural event, the cut line fell at 11-over-par 155, the highest in Web.com Tour history. The par-4 12th hole played to a stroke average of 5.008, making it the hardest in tour history relative to par.
