Corales Puntacana Championship Purse, Prize Money And Field
A former US Open winner is among those competing for a share of the $3.7m purse in the Dominican Republic
While the WGC-Match Play occupies most of the world’s top players this week, the Dominican Republic’s Corales Golf Course hosts an alternate PGA Tour event, the Corales Puntacana Championship.
The picturesque par 72 course, which opened in 2010 and was designed by Tom Fazio, has six holes running alongside the ocean and features a final three holes nicknamed The Devil’s Elbow. The last of those leaves players facing a daunting forced carry over the Bay of Corales.
Among the players taking on the challenging course this year are the 2021 winner Joel Dahmen, who picked up his maiden PGA Tour victory with a nervy final round of 70. Venezuelan Jhonattan Vegas is another expected to do well, while Hudson Swafford will also return as he bids to replicate his success of 2020. Former US Open winner Graeme McDowell, who won this tournament three years ago, is another one to watch. Sahith Theegala's tie for seventh at last week's Valspar Championship, which came the month after he almost won the WM Phoenix Open, suggests he could also be in the running.
The players will be competing for an attractive purse of $3.7m. While this figure is dwarfed by the $12m on offer in the WGC-Match Play, it represents an increase of $700,000 on last year. The winner will earn $666,000, up from $540,000 in 2021.
