The Spaniard turned pro in September of that year, and his first event in the paid ranks was the LIV Golf Invitational Chicago. Puig’s prodigious exploits as an amateur in Spain earned him a place at Arizona State, and in under three full seasons there, he won three events and recorded seven top-10 finishes to highlight his talent and potential.
