The Corales Puntacana Championship....

[Titleist99]

The PGATOUR is in the Dominican Republic.....

The GOLFWRxers should love this tournament......7666 yards with the par fives playing as true three shotters 623 and 626.

Par 3's that some players are hitting woods into...

par 4's that some players are hitting wood on their second...

 

A short hitter won last year.....Graeme McDowell.

300 FedEx points up for grabs.

I'm loving the mostly no name pros that haven't had a ton of opportunities to showcase their talents.  Great event for someone to kick off a strong season.

Say what??? Zzz zzz adios

 Where are finau. fleetwood and fowler--could pick up a win here ?

[Titleist99]

I'm hoping a young player win this and sky rocket from his first win....

Stunning setting. Great to see a different venue.

Watched for a little last night, looked like a cool course but there wasn’t much in the way of medium sized names to maintain my interest for too long.

Was this tournament changed to 500 FedEx points? If so, the young guys get a head start to EastLake for the $15M Grand Prize...

I continue to think that the wrap around season is better than the silly season.

Fazio design from 2010 I think?  He called upon E. Fritz Roberts and Paul McCusker to strategically position the bunkers and waste areas.   

A real gem.

Yes as it's no longer an opposite field event.

And it comes with a Masters invite for April.  That's pretty awesome.

I like the fake metal wood sounds they put on the iron shots for the par 3. Really adds to the viewing experience.

[tiderider]

the big swede's in the house ... that shot and the ensuing club toss/drop lacked commitment ... 

[doublepar93]

Cool tournament to watch. Really want to play that course!

[Naptime]

Tried to watch yesterday and today but can't seem to pay attention and it just plays in the background.

 I would rather watch 50 year old reruns of Shell WW Golf than this-just dull

hahaha.....I had to rewind it, the players were hitting irons but they decided to pipe in a weird high pitch metallic 3 wood sound   ?  it sounded like a infomercial driver/wood.   Thats just ridiculous, they should use that sound effect on short putts too.

Man, they do it all the time. My favorite (this happened last week even) is when they dub that typical “whoosh” sound from the iron in but they have a live open mic by the player: due to a slight video delay, you would hear *snap* *whoosh* on approach shots. I’m like, “is Rory breaking the sound barrier?! Oh, no, it’s just CBS. CBS you so cray cray.”

You need to make it out alive to play Augusta though.
