The PGA Tour is coming back to paradise. The World Wide Technology Championship 2025 returns to Los Cabos this November, solidifying its position as one of the most exciting fall tournaments on the calendar. Taking place at El Cardonal at Diamante Cabo San Lucas – the first course designed by Tiger Woods — this event has quickly become a flagship for professional golf in Mexico.
Since making its Cabo debut in 2023, the tournament has blended elite competition with breathtaking coastal scenery, delivering unforgettable moments and expanding the region’s global golf reputation.
From Mayakoba to Cabo: A Championship with History
The World Wide Technology Championship originally launched in 2007 on the east coast of Mexico as the Mayakoba Classic. For years, it was the PGA Tour’s first official venture outside the United States and Canada.
But in 2023, it made a landmark move to Baja California Sur, relocating from the Riviera Maya to the Pacific Coast. The shift brought new energy, enhanced visibility, and a more dramatic desert-ocean golf setting — all without losing the prestige it built over the years.
Inside El Cardonal: Tiger Woods’ Vision Comes to Life
Built into the natural contours of Cabo’s rugged coastline, El Cardonal is both visually stunning and strategically demanding. It’s the first Tiger Woods-designed course to host a PGA Tour event, and its layout reflects the shot-making challenges that defined his early career.
What Makes El Cardonal Unique:
- A 240-foot tee drop on the 17th hole
- Wide fairways designed for multiple shot paths
- Classic bunkering and tiered greens
- A dramatic par-5 finishing hole perfect for tournament drama
- Panoramic ocean views and natural desert elevation
Woods intentionally designed the course to reward creativity and decision-making, not just power — a refreshing change that has been praised by both players and fans.
