The Dominican Republic will host the PGA Tour Americas final for the first time, taking place at PGA Ocean’s 4 in the Playa Nueva Romana community from October 15 to 18, 2026. This event, known as the Dominican Republic Tour Championship presented by Scotiabank, will feature the top 60 players from the tour competing over four rounds without a cut, with ten Korn Ferry Tour cards for the 2027 season on the line.
PGA Ocean’s 4 is the only golf course in the country with a PGA of America alliance. This collaboration connects it to the PGA Riviera Maya at Tulum Country Club, paving the way for the Tulum Championship featuring the best players from this final. A total purse of $225,000 and 600 points are at stake for competitors.
A PGA Tour Americas final where everyone still has a chance
The champion of the PGA Tour Americas final will receive 600 points, exceeding the typical 500 points awarded at standard events. Additionally, players finishing in the top ten on the PGA Tour Americas Points List, referred to as The 10, will gain an exemption into the Final Stage of PGA Tour Q-School presented by Korn Ferry.
Cam Crawford, PGA Tour Chief Referee, remarked, “What sets this final apart is that everyone still has a chance. Even the player who arrives in 60th place can win and finish inside The 10. Every round will have a direct impact on the race to the Korn Ferry Tour.” He emphasized the excellent condition and infrastructure of PGA Ocean’s 4 for this event.
“Two countries, two courses and one strategy”
During the press conference, Gonzalo Pan de Soraluce, Global Director of Golf at Piñero’s Real Estate & Golf division, highlighted the importance of the event for regional golf. He stated, “Bringing the PGA Tour Americas final to the Dominican Republic allows us to show PGA Ocean’s 4 to the world and sustain sports tourism that attracts investment and develops talent.”
