PGA Tour's World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico

The World Wide Technology Championship, part of the PGA TOUR's FedExCup Fall series, is being held at the Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal at Diamante in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, for the second consecutive year. This event, crucial for players outside the top 70 in the FedExCup standings, offers a $7.2 million purse with a first-place prize of $1.296 million. Erik van Rooyen, the defending champion, returns to compete alongside other notable players like Cameron Young and Matt Kuchar. The tournament is significant for players aiming to secure their spot in the top 125 and retain their PGA Tour cards for the 2025 season, amid potential changes reducing exempt spots from 125 to 100. The field includes players from varied exemption categories and the final four spots are determined through a Monday qualifier. The event draws attention due to its timing and the impact of the proposed changes to the exemption rules set for 2026.
