2020 Puerto Rico Open Overview
To summarize the Puerto Rico Open will have a total purse of $3 million with a winning share of $540,000. It is an alternate event for the PGA Tour with 24 OWGR points at stake. Martin Trainer was the sportsbook winner for 2019. Following were Aaron Baddeley, Daniel Berger, Roger Sloan, and Johnson Wagner. This is the only PGA Tour event held in Puerto Rico and was first played in 2008. On this occasion, the PGA Tour transitions from the west coast to the Atlantic region.
Viktor Hovland
Compared to most of the field Norway’s Viktor Hovland is one of the most promising young players on the PGA Tour. Hovland turned pro less than a year ago, not long after he reached number one on the World Amateur Golf Ranking. Specifically, Hovland was a star in college for Oklahoma State. His best finish was second at the Albertsons Boise Open. Further, he was fourth at the Wyndham Championship.
Alex Noren
In spite of being 37 years old Alex Noren never really reached his perceived potential. For example, Noren reached the number eight ranking for 2017 on the Official World Golf Ranking but has dropped to a current 96th. Noren last made the Top Ten at the RSM Classic.
Ian Poulter
Namely, it is Ian Poulter that is the best-known player in this week’s Puerto Rico Open. His best recent finish was eighth at the WGC FedEx St. Jude Open.
2020 Puerto Rico Open Golf Betting Odds Picks
In this situation, a wide-open field makes the prices right for the Golf Betting Lines. Poulter figures to be a key contender that is capable of the win. Last year’s champion Martin Trainer has been in a stunning free fall.
