After a break from action over the past week, the PGA Tour heads to a relatively new course, El Cardonal, in Los Cabos, Mexico for the World Wide Technology Championship. Opened in 2014, this 225-acre parcel in the foothills of the Baja California desert is the first golf course designed by 82-time PGA winner Tiger Woods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cardonal’s design was inspired by the classic Golden Age courses on the West Coast that Woods played growing up. Thanks to several options for navigating each hole, proper decision-making is rewarded, as he created a course emphasizing strategy and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providing dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean, Diamante is a private resort located at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula in the state of Baja California Sur. In addition to El Cardonal, Diamante also features the Dunes Course, designed by Davis Love III.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The World Wide Technology Championship is one of two FedExCup events in Mexico, along with the Mexico Open at Vidanta. Previously, the event was played at El Camaleon Golf Club south of Cancun in Mexico\u2019s Riviera Maya. But after 16 years of staging a PGA Tour event, the Greg Norman-designed course unsurprisingly ended its relationship with the Tour and instead now hosts one of the main LIV Golf tournaments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Characterized by wide fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and enormous undulated greens, the resort-style course is a birdie-maker’s delight as evidenced by the 27-under par winning score by Erik van Rooyen, last year’s winner of the inaugural event at El Cardonal. While potential howling winds off the coast and the encroaching desert arroyos will provide some pushback, El Cardonal should once again feature plenty of scoring opportunities throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to last year’s World Wide Technology Championship, this year’s event will most likely be the weakest field of the entire season with only three players ranked in the top 60 of the OWGR in attendance. Cameron Young headlines the field and is joined by the likes of Max Greyserman, Lucas Glover, Austin Eckroat, Tom Hoge, Harris English, and Ben Griffin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring a field of 120 players, 500 FedExCup points and jobs are on the line as time is running out to become eligible to make the final top 125 for next year’s season, which begins in January. Eligibility into the first few signature events next year also is based on points from these fall events, so positioning as close as possible inside the top 10 of the FedEx Cup Fall standings is vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
