The PGA Tour’s event at El Camaleón Golf Club at Mayakoba on Mexico’s Riviera Maya will now be titled the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba through 2027. The event is slated to be held November 1-7.
“We are excited to partner with World Wide Technology as we continue to foster the growth of golf in Mexico and Latin America through the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba and its charitable initiatives,” said PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan. “The World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba broke new ground as the first PGA Tour event in Mexico in 2007, and we look forward to properly celebrating this new partnership and the 15th anniversary of the event come November.”
The event has generated nearly $3 million dollars in charitable contributions since 2007.
“The global expansion and resulting positive impact of the PGA Tour makes Mayakoba a natural fit for WWT,” said Jim Kavanaugh, CEO and co-founder of WWT. “At WWT, we do whatever it takes to create the best possible technology experiences and business outcomes for customers and communities around the world. We are proud to support the tournament as it showcases top golf talent while also inspiring leadership and opportunity through the expansion of youth golf in Mexico and Latin America.”
Past champions of the tournament include Fred Funk, Harris English, Charley Hoffman, Graeme McDowell, Matt Kuchar, and most recently Viktor Hovland in 2020.
