The PGA Tour comes to the Dominican Republic for the first time this week with the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club championship in Punta Cana, the tour’s first-ever official event in the Dominican Republic.

The Dominican Republic is playing host to the event from Thursday, March 22 to Sunday, March 25.

It had previously been a Web.com tour event until making the transition this year.

The $3 million purse event is being held at the Tom Fazio-designed Corales course.
