The 2025 Corales Puntacana Championship returns to the Dominican Republic from April 17–20, offering a $4 million purse and 300 FedExCup points. Held at the Corales Golf Course, this event is known for its coastal winds and the challenging final stretch known as the “Devil’s Elbow.” With a field of 132 players from 20 countries, bettors have a variety of options to consider.
2025 Corales Puntacana Championship Preview
As the eighth edition of this PGA Tour event, the Corales Puntacana Championship has become a staple for players seeking to make their mark, even if the attention of the golf world is on the RBC Heritage during the same weekend. The course, designed by Tom Fazio, spans 7,670 yards and features six holes along the Caribbean Sea. The final three holes, collectively called the “Devil’s Elbow,” are particularly demanding, often influencing the tournament’s outcome.
Past champions include Joel Dahmen, who secured his first PGA Tour title here in 2021, and Chad Ramey, the 2022 winner. The defending champion, Billy Horschel, will not be participating this year as he is taking part in the RBC Heritage, leaving the field open for a new titleholder.

- Chad Ramey: The 2022 champion is at +5000. While his recent form has been inconsistent, his familiarity with the course could be advantageous.
- Matt Wallace: At +3000, Wallace also has experience winning this event, doing so in 2023.

Puntacana Championship Prediction
While the field for this year’s Puntacana Championship features several former champions, we are going to go in a different direction with our best bet. We are going to take Seamus Power to come away with the top spot in this tournament at +2500. With the field for this tournament lacking any real star power, this event serves as a great opportunity for Power to get back on track and for him to come away with a win at a nice price for bettors courageous enough to back him in the Caribbean.
