Inside the Field: Corales Puntacana Championship

The PGA TOUR returns to the Dominican Republic for the Corales Puntacana Championship, the second Additional Event of the season contested at Puntacana Resort (Corales Golf Course) alongside the RBC Heritage.

The PGA TOUR uses a standardized system for determining event fields, based on the current season’s Priority Ranking while also including additional exemption and qualifying categories.

Field sizes can vary by event, as can the number of event-specific exemptions. Fully exempt PGA TOUR members are guaranteed entry into all Full-Field Events, with various conditional categories subject to periodic reshuffles based upon FedExCup Points accrued throughout the season. Categories with "reshuffle" notation indicate that a reshuffle period has occurred.

Note: An additional year of eligibility was granted to some categories because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
