With the high-profile stars teeing it up at the Signature Event in Orlando, the Puerto Rico Open hands an opportunity to other PGA Tour members.

That’s been a frustration for Korn Ferry Tour graduates and new tour card holders since the start of the season, who have found appearances hard to come by.

And with 300 FedEx Cup points on the line, players will be keen to make their mark.

First played in 2008, it is the only PGA Tour event played on the Caribbean Island and was once considered a ‘cursed’ event.

No winner of the tournament had gone on to win another event, although Viktor Hovland broke the unofficial curse in 2020.

The Norwegian won the Mayakoba Golf Classic after his triumph in Puerto Rico earlier in the year.

As an alternate event, the winner does not earn a place in the Masters, but still receives a two-year PGA Tour exemption and entry into the PGA Championship as a Tour winner.

The bunkered Bet

Daniel Berger 22/1

There has been signs of a resurgence from Daniel Berger in some good fields since returning from injury. The American was second in his only start in this event back in 2019 and if continuing to improve, won’t find a better chance to win all season.
