Corales Puntacana Championship Prize Money Payout 2025
The PGA Tour’s latest opposite field event features an attractive prize money payout and some former champions in the field


While most of the best players the PGA Tour has to offer are competing in its latest signature event, the RBC Heritage, there is an opposite field contest taking place at the same time.
The Corales Puntacana Championship is being held at Puntacana Resort and Club in the Dominican Republic, where some of the PGA Tour’s lesser lights will hope to shine.
In 2024, a purse of $4m was on offer at the tournament, and it’s the same again this year, with the winner in line for a $720,000 payout.
That figure is considerably less than the prize money heading to the winner of the Harbour Town event, where $3.6m is the reward for victory, but it’s still more than is available on the DP World Tour’s Volvo China Open, where the winner will receive $433,500.
There are other incentives beyond the financial, too. Unlike most tournaments on the PGA Tour, alternate event winners do not earn an exemption to next year's Masters. However, perks of winning include a two-year PGA Tour exemption and FedEx Cup points.
Below is the prize money payout for the Corales Puntacana Championship.
