-Italian secures PGA TOUR card for 2027 season with win at the co-sanctioned Corales Puntacana Championship-
Wearing the latest Galvin Green high-tech clothing, Stefano Mazzoli delivered the biggest moment of his career on Sunday after claiming a thrilling maiden DP World Tour and PGA TOUR victory at the Corales Puntacana Championship in the Dominican Republic.
The 29-year-old Italian produced a sensational final round 66 in sweltering Caribbean conditions to overturn a four-shot final-round deficit, before holing a stunning 24-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to secure a one-shot victory on 20-under-par. The emotional breakthrough triumph secured Stefano’s full PGA TOUR membership for the 2027 season.
Playing in temperatures exceeding 30°C with high humidity throughout the week, Mazzoli relied on Galvin Green’s premium high-tech apparel to remain cool, dry and comfortable during the demanding four-day test. The premium brand’s innovative VENTIL8™ PLUS technology helped regulate body temperature and maximise breathability, allowing him to stay cool and focused as he charged through the field with six birdies in his final round.
Mazzoli, who joined Team Galvin Green ahead of the 2026 season following an impressive campaign that saw him crowned the Asian Tour Rookie of the Year, has enjoyed a rapid rise through the professional ranks. The former European Amateur champion has now translated his immense potential onto golf’s biggest stage with a life-changing victory.

His success marks another outstanding season for Team Galvin Green, with the win earning him valuable Race to Dubai points while opening the door to a full PGA TOUR schedule for the 2027 season.

“Winning in the heat and humidity of the Dominican Republic presents a unique challenge, so it’s fantastic to see our high-performance clothing helping Stefano stay comfortable and focused when it mattered most. Our mission is to provide golfers with apparel that performs in every condition, allowing them to concentrate solely on their game, and Stefano’s incredible finish was the perfect example of that,” he added.
