The 2025 Corales Puntacana Championship is this week’s opposite field event, being played the same week as the RBC Heritage. This is the tenth edition of the tournament, but just the eighth time it is on the PGA TOUR. The Corales Course is set among natural cliffs adjacent to the Caribbean Sea, and it features wide and generous fairways without much rough. Billy Horschel shot a 9-under 63 in the final round last year to win the tournament, but he is not in the 2025 Corales Puntacana Championship field.
Keith Mitchell is the 14-1 favorite in the 2025 Corales Puntacana Championship odds, followed by Alex Smalley (20-1), Ben Griffin (20-1) and Harry Hall (22-1). Which golfers should you back with your 2025 Corales Puntacana Championship bets? Before locking in your 2025 Corales Puntacana Championship picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up nearly $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 14 majors entering the weekend, including the 2025 Masters – its fourth Masters in a row – and last year’s PGA Championship and U.S. Open. Anyone who has followed its sports betting picks could have seen massive returns on betting apps like FanDuel, DraftKings and Fanatics.

2025 Corales Puntacana Championship predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2025 Corales Puntacana Championship: Keith Mitchell, who is the betting favorite, stumbles this week and doesn’t even crack the top three. Mitchell has not won a PGA Tour event since the 2019 Honda Classic, which is still the lone victory on his resume. The 33-year-old has yet to record a top-10 finish in 2025, with his best finish being a T12 in the Valero Texas Open.
He failed to crack the top 30 in the Cognizant Classic and the Valspar Championship while missing the cut in The Players Championship. Mitchell ranks 93rd on the PGA TOUR in strokes gained: putting, which is a crucial statistic given the generous fairways at this event. The model has Mitchell finishing outside the top three, making him a golfer to avoid given his position atop the PGA odds board. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: Rico Hoey, a 33-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Hoey won his first Korn Ferry Tour event in 2023 and finished fourth on the season points list, earning status to play on the PGA Tour in 2024. He carded four top-10 finishes and a runner-up in 28 events last season, and he finished T33 at this event.
Hoey has a pair of top-25 finishes since the beginning of March, including a T11 at the Texas Children’s Houston Open at the end of last month. He ranks third on the PGA Tour in strokes gained off the tee and fourth in GIR percentage. Being able to find the green and set up birdie opportunities will be a key this week, and Hoey checks that box as an enticing longshot. See who else to pick here.
