World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba kicks off next Thursday, November 4

One week from today, World Wide Technology will officially debut as Title Sponsor of the PGA TOUR’s historic and pioneering tournament held annually on Mexico’s Riviera Maya when round one gets underway at the Mayakoba resort. The World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba will feature 132 PGA TOUR professionals, including defending champion Viktor Hovland of Norway, in four days of stroke play competition for a purse of $7.2 Million.

World Wide Technology, a $13 billion technology solutions provider, was announced in July as the title sponsor for the annual PGA TOUR event in a seven-year partnership that extends through 2027. The event is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year.

“We are thrilled for this partnership to tee off next week,” said Jim Kavanaugh, CEO and co-founder of WWT. “The World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba is an opportunity to positively impact local communities, while also being a part of exciting moments in golf. We look forward to gathering and creating change together for years to come.”

In the first year of the partnership, World Wide Technology and Mayakoba will welcome the tournament’s strongest field to date; including 14 different Major Champions, 15 players who participated in last month’s Ryder Cup, and a total of 267 PGA TOUR wins across the field of committed players. Ten players among the top-25 in the Official World Golf Ranking are scheduled to compete, including World No. 7 Justin Thomas and defending champion Hovland who is currently No. 17 in the ranking.

Other commitments include Brooks Koepka, Tony Finau, Abraham Ancer, Harris English, Tyrrell Hatton, Billy Horschel, Patrick Reed, Scottie Scheffler, Matt Fitzpatrick, Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, Matthew Wolff, Will Zalatoris and many other top players. Players for the field of 132 competitors have until 5:00 p.m. ET on Friday, October 29, to commit to the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba and can withdraw from the tournament at any time.
