Puerto Rico Open 2024: Field, tee times, and betting odds for the PGA Tour event

The Puerto Rico Open 2024 Preview

The PGA Tour’s only Caribbean event welcomes a chasing pack of pros, hungry to impress in the absence of the game’s big guns.

The Puerto Rico Open plays a supporting act this week to the PGA Tour’s Signature Event over in Orlando – The Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill.

The tournament, now in its 16th year, has historically run alongside a higher-status event, therefore providing one of the season’s best opportunities for lower-ranked PGA Tour members to bag some precious FedExCup points.

Last time out, it was Columbian Nico Echavarria who capitalized, stepping up from 406^th in the OGWRs to win on 21-under par, rising over 100 places in the space of a week to 287^th.

Where is The Puerto Rico Open being played?

The wind-exposed par 72, 7,506-yard Grand Reserve Country Club in Rio Grande is the host venue for the Puerto Rico Open and is one of only two championship courses in the Caribbean.

Who is in the field for The Puerto Rico Open?

Defending champion Echavarria defends his title at the Grand Reserve Golf Club, and while the field lacks the star power of Florida’s Signature Event, there is still a smattering of winners teeing it up and plenty of high-caliber players ready for a break-through win.

Rasmus Hojgaard will have a point to prove having missed out on a PGA Tour card by just 30 points at the season-ending DP World Tour Championship. Ryder Cup rookie Robert MacIntyre also takes his place in the field, alongside fellow DP World Tour winners Aaron Rai, Ryo Hisatsune, and Victor Perez.

How much will the winner of The Puerto Rico Open receive?

The winner in Rio Grande is set to receive a $720,000 share of the $4 million purse, up from the $684,000 won by Nico Echavarria in 2023.

While the winner does not qualify for the Masters, they do guarantee themselves entry into the PGA Championship as a Tour winner, a two-year PGA Tour exemption, and a highly valuable 300 FedExCup points.
