“Hosting the very first PGA Tour tournament in the Dominican Republic is an honor both for Puntacana Resort and Club and for the Dominican Republic itself,” said Frank Rainieri, chairman and founder of the Grupo Puntacana, host of the event. “This is an affirmation of the exceptional golf facilities we have down here, and we are thrilled to expose the international golf community to the Dominican Republic.
He explained that the PGA Tour is a step up from the past Web.com Tour’s Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship that was first held in 2016. “We look forward to another outstanding tournament on the Web.com Tour in May and then to grow our relationship with the PGA TOUR beginning in 2018,” says Rainieri.
The Punta Cana event is part of the PGA Tour’s 49-tournament FedExCup schedule that includes nine tournaments in eight countries outside the United States.
