The PGA TOUR's final stretch is upon us, and the World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico is set to thrill fans and players alike! But for some, it's a make-or-break moment.
The Pressure is On for the Class of 2025
As the season nears its end, the PGA TOUR's Class of 2025 has no more time to rest. With only tournament play left, every shot counts, and the upcoming World Wide Technology Championship in Los Cabos, Mexico, is the first of the final three stops.
Garrick Higgo, with an impressive fall record, is a standout in the 120-player field. But the real story lies in the tournament's location: El Cardonal at Diamante. This stunning course is a golfer's paradise, but this week, it's a battleground.
Here's the twist: El Cardonal, designed by the legendary Tiger Woods, is typically a place for golfers to unwind. Yet, for these professionals, it's where they'll fight to secure their careers at the pinnacle of the sport.
And this is where it gets intriguing. The course, in its third year as host, presents a unique challenge. The average score last year was 70.256, higher than expected due to a windy opening round. But this week, the forecast promises calmer conditions, allowing scores to potentially surpass the inaugural event.
But here's where it gets controversial: the absence of wind means the course's main defense is down. The greens, averaging over 8,000 square feet, will be the primary test, with undulations posing the biggest threat. The paspalum putting surfaces are expected to run at a TOUR-average 11 feet, demanding precision on approach shots.
