Charles Howell III will be keen to win the 2021 Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship in the Dominic Republic. 
 
The American star is one of the most consistent players on tour as he has managed over 90 top-ten finishes in his career.
 
Howell III has also made a lot of money as a professional golfer having earned over 38 million dollars on placement and victory purses.
 
Currently ranked 116th in the world, Howell III has been featured in the top 15 of the Official World Golf Ranking in the past. 
 
Howell III, who ranked 9th on the PGA Tour money list in 2002, has won three tournaments on the PGA Tour thus far in his professional career which started in 2000. 
 
The 41-year-old lifted the 2002 Michelob Championship at Kingsmill, 2007 Nissan Open and 2018 RSM Classic.
 
Howell III finished 10th at the 2003 PGA Championship and it remains his best-ever performance in a major golf tournament.

The 2018 RSM Classic triumph remains Howell III's last win on the PGA Tour as he defeated Patrick Rodgers in the playoff and it ended his 11-year trophy drought.
 
Howell III has stated that winning the RSM Classic was a wake-up call for him and he will be eager to make it four wins on the PGA Tour by securing a victory at the Corales Golf Club. 
 
“It was a nice wake-up call to see how difficult it is to be successful and win out here,” Howell III said. 
 
“The game has changed dramatically. The game’s a lot harder in terms of the depth of talent. I still spend all the time in the gym to try to ward off Father Time as much as I can.”
