As well as the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the PGA Tour is also in Puerto Rico this week for the Puerto Rico Open, where a number of recognisable names will be featuring.

Last year, it was Branden Grace who claimed an emotional victory, with an eagle-birdie finish giving him a tight one-shot win over Venezuelan, Jhonattan Vegas, who had been leading for the majority of the final round before Grace's superb finish.

The win came just a month after the South African had lost his dad to Covid, with Grace stating: "It was an emotional day. I thought about him a hell of a lot out there, and especially -- the last tee shot, I was really struggling the last hole, because I knew he was watching over me. I knew he was guiding me. And I know he's in a better place now, but we miss him dearly. And it's just been -- it's been a great way to a -- a tough time that we have had the last couple months."

Although Grace won't be returning to defend his title, there are still a number of high profile names teeing it up at the Grand Reserve Country Club, with a mix of former Major winners and Rookies vying for the title that was first established in 2008.
