PGA Tour in Punta Cana

For the first time, the Dominican Republic will host the US-PGA Tour in March 2018. Puntacana Resort & Club will be the host for the event. The tournament will be played 19-25 March at the Tom Fazio-designed Corales Golf Course.

This May 2017 Corales is hosting the Web.com tournament, the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship, the developmental tour of the PGA Tour. The tournament runs from Thursday, 4 May to Sunday 7 May 2017 in Punta Cana. The web.com tour features professional golfers who are not at PGA Tour level. It is regarded as the PGA’s satellite tour.

For 2018, the Web.com stop in Punta Cana will transition to The PGA Tour. When the PGA Tour debuts from 19-25 March 2018, on the same week the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play will offer 300 FedExCup points to the winner. The event will carry a purse of at least US$3 million.

Grupo Puntacana, which owns and operates Puntacana Resort & Club, signed a four-year agreement to serve as the host organization.
