Winning a PGA Tour event is a life-changing event for any golfer, but it’s especially important to those golfers who aren’t consistently toward the top of leaderboards or don’t have their full Tour card.

Of course, we’re all aware of the big million-dollar payday that comes with winning a tournament, but there are plenty of other perks that mean more in the long run in helping to keep a Tour card.

On Thursday of the 2019 WGC-Mexico Championship, Miura, a high-end Japanese club manufacturer known for its hand-crafted irons, announced that it signed Mexico’s Abraham Ancer as the first brand ambassador on the PGA TOUR in the company’s history, which started in 1957. As part of the agreement, Ancer, who’s currently 42nd in the FedExCup standings, “will work directly with the Miura family in Himeji, Japan, to craft his custom-designed forged irons, and will don the trademark Miura hat at TOUR events,” according to the company.

“I switched to Miura irons well before any partnership; I just wanted to play the best forged irons available,” Ancer said in a press release.

Although Ancer already plays Miura irons, it sounds as though he will have the opportunity to be more involved with the design process going forward.

Miura’s Master Fitter Genaro Davila originally custom fit Ancer two years ago into a set of Miura irons. Now, as part of Ancer’s new deal, the 27-year-old will team up with Davila, and entrepreneur Gerardo Benavides, to form Dead Solid Perfect (DSP) Golf Mexico, which is a fitting studio and club assembly facility located in Monclova, Coahuila, that will be fully stocked with Miura products.

RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico – After a one-year hiatus, the Puerto Rico Open is back on the PGA TOUR.

After Hurricane Maria caused catastrophic damage to the island in 2017, tournament organizers decided to host a Pro-Am in 2018 that ended up raising more than $500,000 for relief efforts.

The Pro-Am featured past PGA TOUR winners and stars of the LPGA Tour and Web.com Tour, but this year the tournament is back, and so is the island.

It’s recovered well from one of the worst natural disasters on record and the Puerto Rican people are eager to welcome the world’s best once again. 

D.A. Points captured the last Puerto Rico Open in 2017. At 20 under par, he won by two shots over Bryson DeChambeau, Retief Goosen and Bill Lunde.

Club de Golf Chapultepec — venue for the WGC-Mexico Championship in Mexico City, Mexico — sits at 7,500 feet above sea level.

The higher the elevation, the thinner the air. For golfers, that means less friction on their golf balls, which leads to shots with all clubs traveling considerably further than usual.

Just how much further? It's different for everyone, but check out this Instagram post Justin Thomas posted after a practice round in 2017. It's a photo of his launch monitor readings, which shows his driver carrying almost 356 yards and totaling nearly 384 yards.

OK. Calm down. Chances are you aren't going to hit it that far.

But, even if you're just a common golfer, you're still going to have to factor in how altitude will impact your game.

Get to the range before your round at altitude. Don't wear yourself out -- remember, the thin air is also going to take a toll on your body -- but get your "adjusted" numbers dialed in.

It's going to be different.
