A Tiger Woods-Designed Golf Course Will Host a PGA Tour Event This Fall

The longtime PGA Tour fall event in Mexico is moving to Cabo San Lucas and a course designed by Tiger Woods.

The World Wide Technology Championship, won by Russell Henley in November, is moving to from the Mayakoba Resort near Cancun the El Cardonal Golf Course at Diamonte.

The course opened in 2014 and was the first Woods design to do so. It will also be the first of his courses to host a PGA Tour event.

The PGA Tour’s fall schedule has yet to be released but the World Wide Technology event will comprise 132 players who will play for 500 FedEx Cup points. The events following the Tour Championship in August will still count for players outside of the top 50 in FedEx points to improve their position or gain status for the following year.

The dates of the tournament and the rest of the fall schedule have yet to be announced.

The PGA Tour event in Cancun dates to 2007 but the Mayakoba Resort contracted with LIV Golf for a multi-tournament agreement that began last month when Charles Howell III won the first event of the 2023 LIV schedule. Mayakoba officials had expressed to the Tour a desire to still stage a PGA Tour event at their location along with the LIV event.

In addition to Cabo, the Tour also has another tournament in Mexico—the Mexico Open at Vidanta which will be played late next month but is moving to earlier in the spring next year.
