Puerto Rico Open to become unofficial event for 2018
The PGA Tour announced Thursday that a "special, unofficial" event will be held in lieu of the Puerto Rico Open next spring in an effort to raise funds for an island that is still recovering from the effects of Hurricane Maria.
The tournament was originally scheduled for March 1-4, opposite the WGC-Mexico Championship. The new event, which will feature PGA Tour pros as well as other athletes and celebrities, will be held sometime in March. While the tournament has traditionally been held at Coco Beach Golf & Country Club, the one-year event will be moved to TPC Dorado Beach.
