American golfer Mark Wiebe has won the PGA Champions Tour at Cap Cana. He takes home a US$300,000 check and the trophy. Wiebe had been ranked 34th in the Championship tour, with earnings of US$130,773 after seven events. His average scoring was 71.3. Runners-up were Argentina's Vicente Fernandez and American Jay Haas, who won US$176,000 and US$144,000 respectively. The Championship Tour is in its 29th year. This year's Cap Cana Championship was the first tour-sanctioned event ever held in the DR and marked the Champions Tour's return to the Caribbean since 1993 when it was played in Puerto Rico. The 2008 Cap Cana Championship is expected to have a significant impact on the DR in terms of tourism, media exposure and promotional benefits. The Golf Channel carried eight hours of live TV over three days, which would be re-aired for a minimum of eight additional hours. The organizers have agreed to hold three tournaments at the Jack Nicklaus Punta Espada golf course.
