Steve Palmer backed Pierceson Coody as his top pick to win the Corales Puntacana Championship at odds of 40-1. Palmer highlighted Coody's strong track record at tropical venues, including victories in nearby Panama and excellent performances in Bermuda and The Bahamas. Coody's debut in the Puntacana event last year saw him record a solid 18th-place finish despite poor previous form and injuries. Palmer notes that this performance sparked an upturn in Coody's career, with subsequent impressive finishes including 5th place at Colonial, runner-up in the ISCO Championship, 12th at the Bermuda Championship, and two additional top-10 Korn Ferry finishes. Given his proven comfort at oceanic island venues, Coody is tipped to deliver his first PGA Tour victory this weekend.
