Ricky Castillo won the Puerto Rico Open on March 8, 2026, at 17 under par, one shot ahead of Chandler Blanchet, and took $720,000 from a $4 million purse. The tournament is not on the PGA Tour’s 2027 schedule as of September 25, 2026, so there is no date for the next edition and no odds to quote.
The PGA Tour’s 2027 schedule lists one open slot, “TBD (Additional Event)”, for February 18 to 21, 2027, with no name or venue. The Arnold Palmer Invitational, which the Puerto Rico Open ran opposite in 2026, moves to March 18 to 21, 2027.

Golf betting while the 2027 schedule is set
With no Puerto Rico Open date, there is no market on it. If the tournament returns to the schedule and a sportsbook prices it, the implied chance of a price is 100 divided by the price plus 100, so +2800 is 3.4%. A bet on a winner is worth making only when you rate the golfer’s chance higher than the price does.
