About Puerto Rico Open 2024
First held in 2008, the Puerto Rico Open is a PGA Tour professional golf competition. Puerto Rico has hosted just one PGA Tour tournament in its history. Tom Kite built the Coco Beach Golf Course, where the tournament is held. It was previously called the Trump International Golf Club Puerto Rico. It was held in early March as a stand-in event for the WGC-Cadillac Championship from its establishment until 2015. However, in 2016, it was shifted to late March in opposition to the WGC-Dell Match Play. The Golf Channel broadcasts all four rounds.
The event had been considered an unofficial "curse" on the PGA Tour, as no event winner had ever won another tournament. The only exception was Michael Bradley, who won the Puerto Rico Open for a second time in 2011, after winning his first in 2009, but never won another PGA Tour event. However, Viktor Hovland broke the "curse" when winning the Mayakoba Golf Classic in December 2020, having won the Puerto Rico Open earlier in the year.
