The World Wide Technology Championship is a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour in Mexico, contested at the Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal golf course within the Diamante Cabo San Lucas resort. It debuted in February 2007 and was the first PGA Tour event to take place in Mexico. The first 16 years of the tournament took place in Riviera Maya before the tournament was moved to Los Cabos in 2023.

History

Originally an alternate event in late winter, the tournament was played the same week as the WGC Match Play event in Arizona. Mayakoba was part of the FedEx Cup, but only earned half the points of a regular event. The prize fund in 2007 was US$3.5 million (with a winner's share of $630,000),[1] making it the richest golf tournament in Mexico.[2]

Fred Funk, a winner four months earlier on the Champions Tour, took the inaugural event in a playoff over José Cóceres of Argentina.[1][3] Funk was Template:Age in years and days of age and became the oldest player to win a PGA Tour event in nearly 32 years;[4] Art Wall was about eleven months older when he won the Greater Milwaukee Open in July 1975.[5]

In 2013, the event was moved to mid-November to be part of the 2014 season as a primary event in the early part of the season, which began in October for the first time.[6] The tournament now offered full FedEx Cup points, a Masters invitation, and a large purse increase (over 60%, to $6 million). With the tour's new schedule, the Mayakoba event was not part of the abbreviated 2013 season.

The Golf Classic is allocated four additional sponsor exemptions designated for players of Spanish or Mexican heritage from Latin America, South America, Spain, or Mexico.[7]

In 2021, World Wide Technology was announced as the new title sponsor of the event, in a deal lasting until 2027.[8]

In November 2022, it was noted that the El Camaleón Golf Course had been added to the roster for the 2023 LIV Golf League.[9] With the PGA Tour and LIV Golf's ongoing legal battle, the tour decided to end its relationship with Mayakoba.[10] In January 2023, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan confirmed that the tour was working with World Wide Technology, but did not see them being back at Mayakoba.[11]
