We consider a variant of the Georgi-Glashow model in the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield limit, augmented by a higher derivative Skyrme-like term, which is the simplest Yang-Mills-Higgs model that can support monopole bound states. The spherically symmetric solutions are studied with a combination of analytic and numerical techniques, which strongly suggest that the solutions converge to a finite energy configuration in the limit of infinite coupling of the Skyrme-like term.
