Savoie wins Dominican Republic golf final of 59 pros
The PGA Tour Americas final brings 59 golfers to PGA Ocean's 4 in Playa Nueva Romana, Dominican Republic: Canadian Joey Savoie wins with 274 strokes, 14 under par. It is the first time the final has taken place in the country. The top ten gain access to the 2027 Korn Ferry Tour, while Thomas Ponder ends the season as the circuit's leading player.
The event puts Dominican culture alongside the golf. Local artisan Ramón Antonio Guillén Polanco makes a trophy inspired by Taíno art. Chef María Marte prepares the food offering, and the Matum show draws on Indigenous history and Caribbean traditions.
Piñero uses the tournament to promote the Dominican Republic as a travel destination. It also brings journalists and travel agents to see what the area offers. The course has 27 holes, including a floodlit nine-hole layout, and a golf academy.
