With 18 holes to play and $720,000 waiting for the winner at the Corales Puntacana Championship, this year’s tournament was exciting. The leaderboard tells a fascinating story: eleven players within six shots of the lead heading into what promises to be a thrilling finale. Joel Dahmen leads by three shots after setting a course record on Thursday. But a pack of hungry challengers aims to derail his wire-to-wire victory bid. As the PGA Tour’s stop before heading east, this tournament carries extra weight – players battle for FedExCup points and a chance to secure a PGA Championship spot.
Sunday’s featured groups: All eyes on the afternoon wave
The marquee pairing of Joel Dahmen (-17) and Chan Kim (-14) headlines the afternoon wave, teeing off at 1:40 p.m. ET. Just before them, Michael Thorbjornsen and Garrick Higgo start their chase at 1:30 p.m. ET. Both sit at 14-under and represent golf’s new wave. The duo of Vince Whaley and Jeremy Paul follows at 1:20 p.m. ET, both at 13-under.
Rising stars Michael Thorbjornsen and Garrick Higgo, tied at 14-under, battle from the penultimate group. Beyond the featured groups, several former champions lurk – including 2024 winner Ben Martin at 13-under and 2023 champion Matt Wallace at 11-under.
