2021 Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship
Expert Picks and Tournament Preview
The Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship is the first PGA tournament held in the Dominican Republic. Previously the event was a Web.com tour stop but was promoted to the big kids table playing the same week as the WGC Dell Technologies Match Play tournament.
Most of the field for the Corales Championship will be the rookies on tour that didn't rank high enough to play in this week's WGC and are looking for the 500 FedEx cup points and the two year PGA Tour exemption that comes with winning the tournament.
