The small white ball, with the perfect dents, will be rolled again on the grass in the Dominican Republic, next Thursday (23rd), at the start of the Corales Puntacana Championship, which brings together great golf players from all over the world.
The tournament will be held at the Puntacana Resort and Club, in the beautiful province of La Altagracia, where the event has been held since its first edition in 2016. With a length of approximately seven thousand meters, players will have plenty of time and possibilities to show their potential in this great tournament.
Americans Chad Ramey, Joel Dahmen, and Hudson Swafford were the last three winners of the competition. There is, again, a lot of anticipation about Chad Ramey, but the competition should be even fiercer this year.
The games will start on Thursday the 23rd and end on Sunday the 26th.

O jovem americano Wyndham Clark tem sido apontado como um dos favoritos para vencer o torneio, principalmente pelas recentes participações em torneios internacionais e, principalmente, por estar melhor posicionado que seus adversários nos principais rankings: FedEx e OWGR.
Embora nunca tenha vencido o Campeonato Corales Puntacana antes, a expectativa é que Wyndham consiga coroar suas boas atuações com o título, tendo terminado os torneios 12 vezes entre os 10 melhores jogadores.
Campeonato Corales Puntacana – Favoritos – Joel Dahmen

Top 10 Finishes: 20
Events Played: 162
PGA Tour Wins: 1
International Wins: 0
FedEx Ranking: 48th

Probabilidades de Moneyline: +1900
The current 100th-best player in the world, according to the Official World Golf Ranking, arrives in the Dominican Republic with great expectations and serious possibilities of winning the tournament again.
Dahmen won the 2020-2021 edition and has been rising in the international rankings ever since. This will be his sixth year on the PGA Tour, giving him the experience he needs to stay calm through the toughest moments on the 7,000-plus-meter course.
It will be interesting to see the competition with Wyndham Clark and Chad Ramey, who will try to renew the Corales Puntacana Championship title.
Corales Puntacana Championship – Favorites – Chad Ramey
Birthplace: Fulton, MS
Age: 30
Top 10 Finishes: 2
Events Played: 46
PGA Tour Wins: 1
International Wins: 0
FedEx Ranking: 139º
Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR): 199º
Probabilidades de Moneyline: +3700
Chad Ramey terá que jogar ainda melhor do que quando venceu o torneio se quiser dissipar a desconfiança das pessoas em suas chances de vencer a edição deste ano. O torneio deste ano parece ainda mais difícil, uma vez que jogadores de classificação mais elevada foram convidados e muitos golfistas mais experientes estarão presentes.
Ramey’s advantage will certainly come from his knowledge of the course, as he was the last to win the tournament. Even so, the task of defending the title will not be easy, as he will face players who have already played in a large number of tournaments and collected millions in prize money in their careers.
Favoritos de apostas
Pelo cenário apresentado, acreditamos que o torneio será incrível e que haverá muitas mudanças de liderança nos primeiros dias. Porém, os três citados acima são os grandes favoritos:
1. Wyndham Clark, jovem e promissor, que esteve em muitas finais nos últimos anos;
2. Joe Dahmen, um jogador experiente que venceu a competição há alguns anos;
3. Chad Ramey, the last tournament winner.
We believe that Joe Dahmen is more prepared to take the title. If you put $100 on Joe Dahmen’s win, you could get $1925 out of a total payout of $2025.
