Odds provided by FanDuel – accurate as of April 18
Teeing it up for the 199th time on the PGA Tour, 33-year-old Keith Mitchell headlines the Corales Puntacana Championship odds this week. It’s somewhat surprising that the veteran has just one victory and one second place finish over his career to this point. A recent run through Texas saw him finish tied for 12th at the Texas Open and tying for 18th at the Houston Open for his two best results of the year. In nine starts this year he has shot par or better in every first round including two rounds of 64 and additional rounds of 65 and 66.

Ben Griffin
*Withdrew from event
Rising up the world golf rankings and now sitting as the 55th ranked player in the world, 28-year-old Ben Griffin seems poised for a first-time victory on the PGA Tour. Griffin was close to winning once before but lost in a playoff to Luke List at the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship. Three top seven results highlight his season including back-to-back tied for fourth place showings at the Mexico Open and the Cognizant Classic of New Orleans in late February and early March.
Alex Smalley | +2200 at FanDuel sportsbook
Another 28-year-old in search of his first PGA Tour win is Duke University standout Alex Smalley who started off the season hot but has since faded. In his first seven events of 2025 he posted six top 21 finishes including a top 10 at the Mexico Open. However, it hasn’t been pretty since then with three consecutive missed cuts on his resume as he gets set to tee it up for the fourth time in the Dominican Republic. His history in the event is fantastic with a tie for 14th, a tie for second place and a tie for sixth place to show for his three previous appearances.
Harry Hall | +4000 at FanDuel sportsbook
2024 ISCO Championship winner and England’s own Harry Hall also started off the season strong but is looking to bounce back after a bit of a lull. Hall started the season with back-to-back top 10 results in Hawaii but has failed to reach that mark since. A tie for 18th and 26th across the two Texas tournaments has the 27-year-old in a good mindset heading into this week. This will be his second time playing in the Corales Puntacana Championship where he finished tied for 13th in 2023.

Thorbjorn Olesen
*Withdrew from event
With eight career wins on the European Tour, Denmark’s Thorbjorn Olesen may be the most decorated player in the field this week, but the positive results haven’t translated to much success over his first 83 events on the PGA Tour. A third-place finish among two top fives is his best performances to date in his career as he makes his debut at the Corales Puntacana Championship. With one of those results coming the last time he teed off at the Texas Open, he should have a leg up on the competition, as he is one of the more experienced players in the field.
Corales Puntacana Championship longshot
Henrik Norlander
Another veteran in search of his first win on the PGA Tour is Sweden’s Henrik Norlander who has played in 194 events in his career without that maiden victory. With a pair of top 16 finishes in his last three events, the 38-year-old arrives in the Dominican Republic playing his best golf of the season. This will be his fourth time playing in the event with previous results of a missed cut in 2021, a tie for 22nd in 2023 and a 36th place result in 2024.

Corales Puntacana Championship betting trends
There are not that many betting trends when it comes to the Corales Puntacana Championship, but there is one thing that seems apparent over its seven-year history and that is that the winner of the tournament will shoot a low score. In five of the seven years, the winning score was either 17, 18 or 19 under par, with a tournament record of 23 under being shot last year. Look for a lot of low scores this week as players go flag hunting in the Dominican Republic.

Corales Puntacana Championship debutants
Aldrich Potgieter | +100000 at FanDuel sportsbook
Making just his 16th career start on the PGA Tour and his debut at the Corales Puntacana Championship, 20-year-old Aldrich Potgieter looks like he has the full package to be a serious challenger to titles in years to come. While his 15 previous events are littered with more missed cuts than made cuts, the young South African did have a coming out party at the Mexico Open in late February. While he couldn’t close it out that week, the experience should do nothing but help the rising star.
