Ambassador Q&A

What is an Ambassador?

A World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba Ambassador performs various functions to assure the successful operation of México’s Only PGA TOUR Event.

Due to the nature of golf and the complex setup of a major golf tournament, hundreds of people are required to help with the operations from crowd control to scoring to helping the professional golfers in various ways.
