The National Match Play Championship is back at Punta Espada Golf Club in Cap CanaCap CanaAn exclusive resort community south of Punta Cana with a marina, golf courses, luxury resorts and natural attractions such as Hoyo Azul., as reported by Dominican Today. This is one of the country's most prestigious tournaments, gathering 72 top golfers, amateurs and professionals alike.

In my view, this is a win. Cap Cana is already a luxury destination, and an event of this caliber cements it as a Caribbean golf benchmark. It draws high-spending travelers, drives business for hotels, restaurants and tourism services, and puts the Dominican Republic on the map of major circuits. Hope it keeps growing, golf is a goldmine we still under tap.
