Adam Scott happy to wear the favourites' tag at this weeks' Butterfield Bermuda Championship

Scott is one of just two players in the world's top 50 in the field at Port Royal Golf Course, where the former Masters champion won the Grand Slam of Golf ten years ago.

"At many different times in my career I've come to events as the favourite or world number one or in good form and expectation being high and that's kind of what I like. That’s the environment I want to be in," Scott said.

"If that's the case this week (being favourite), I feel like I am the best player here and that might help me perform a little better.

"So I don't find pressure like that. You can feed off that expectation a little bit."

Scott admits it can be hard to maintain his motivation to keep competing at the highest level at the age of 43, but the former world number one is keen to get his game in shape for upcoming events in his native Australia.

"I think the year-round schedule makes it harder and my life has changed, certainly from 10 years ago when I was here," Scott said.

"(I have) my own family now and certainly other priorities to balance with the game. That's always a juggling act and at times there is an issue with motivation, but the passion is still there, that’s for sure.

"It's just about balancing all this the best I can so that I can get the most out of myself in all these areas, which isn't easy because I really believe you can really only be great at one thing.

"You can be good at lots of things, but only great at one. I'm playing the Australian PGA and the Australian Open in a couple weeks' time and then I get to stay home for about five weeks after that before heading out early in the new year to play and settle back in Europe and then come out and play on the (PGA) Tour.

"That will be nice. It's always nice, especially after long stretches like this year to be away all year and get to go home and enjoy six or seven weeks at home."

Ireland's Seamus Power won his second PGA Tour title in Bermuda last year but is unable to defend his title after being sidelined by a hip injury.
