South of the Border, the World Wide Technology Championship will be held.
Golfweek learned that the tournament which has been a fixture of the PGA Tour’s autumn schedule for over a decade is moving to Cabo.
Multiple sources claim that the Tour’s board meeting will approve the move. This is ahead of Monday’s Arnold Palmer Invitational. According to a source, the tournament will take place at El Cardonal in Diamante, the first course designed and built by Tiger Woods. It overlooks the Pacific Ocean, is a popular attraction at Cabo San Lucas, a timeshare community located at the tip on the Baja Peninsula.
It is unclear what role Woods will play at the WWTC event as the tournament host for the Genesis Invitational, Hero World Challenge and Hero World Challenge.
The World Wide Technologies Championship was previously played at El Camaleon Golf Club in Cancun, Mexico’s Riviera Maya. After 16 years of hosting a PGA Tour event at El Camaleon Golf Club in Cancun, Mexico’s Riviera Maya, the course jumped ship to LIV Golf and will host the inaugural season of the new upstart league this week.
Borja Escalada (CEO of RLH Properties, which owns Mayakoba resort) stated that he would love to host events with both circuits as well as help “build a link” between warring factions. However, one Tour director stated that this is unlikely. A PGA Tour tournament director stated, “Build a bridge.” “More like they built a bridge with PGA Tour, who will be back?”
