Event Preview

Alternative action from the PGA Tour this weekend comes from the Dominican Republic, as the Puntacana Championship gets underway on Thursday. This weekend’s event was first staged in 2016, with the idyllic Corales Golf Course seeing the field compete across 7,670 yards.

Taylor Pendrith will likely be a leading contender after achieving two top-five finishes on the PGA Tour in 2026. Confidence surrounding his chances will be high after a T2 finish at the recent ISCO Championship.

Mackenzie Hughes is another leading Canadian chance in the Dominican Republic this weekend. He has made the cut in ten of his 16 starts this season, and was a competitive T10 at the recent ISCO Championship. That was his second top-ten finish in four starts.

Benjamin James is another player worth considering after showing some reliable form this term. James has made the cut in all four starts on the PGA Tour, which includes two top-25 finishes. Last time out, he finished T15 at the ISCO Championship.

Puntacana Championship Picks

Kevin Yu could be playing his way into form at a perfect time. The star has made the cut in seven of his 16 starts in 2026, and has already achieved three top-25 finishes. Plenty of positives can be drawn from his recent performances, including a T15 finish at the John Deere Classic.
