For the third consecutive year, the Puerto Rico Open takes center stage this week with a strong field of 162 players at Trump International Golf Club in Río Grande. The four-round PGA event is presented by Banco Popular and runs Thursday through Sunday.

The clock is ticking and the 18th green stadium is ready for action. One week away, everyone is welcome at Trump International Golf Club to enjoy a great week of the best professional golf the PGA TOUR has to offer. "Fun for the whole family beyond the greens" is the title of the latest ad in the local newspaper. Live music and daily entertainment include; a Kids Zone, a golf clinic with legendary Chi Chi Rodriguez and famous Salsa bands on stage presented by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. The repeat of Mingle as a power place to eat, drink and live richly returns with a fabulous art exhibition that will surely attract big names. A thumbs up and hats off to all involved in making this a remarkable event for this PGA TOUR fan filled week.
