This year promises to be another exciting season as Cameron Beckman defends his title and aims for
the purse set at US$3.7 million.
Mayakoba Golf Classic at Riviera Maya-Cancun is a PGA Tour golf tournament since 2007. Playa del
Carmen, Mexico has been playing host to the Mayakoba Golf Classic.
The
course, designed by Greg Norman, has been home to the tournament since it started. It certainly is a
league of its own, covering three unique landscapes which include a tropical jungle, mangrove area,
and stretches of sand by the ocean with massive limestone canals. Add to that a plush 5-star
clubhouse, practice facility, and driving range, and you get a location befitting an exclusive
sporting event.
While the course is amazing, the surrounding golf amenities are equally as stunning. Many of the
golfers bring their families with them to enjoy the event.
There is an impressive Mayan – influenced
clubhouse rising above the 18th green, and the resort has a unique canal system where golfers can
step out of their rooms and into a boat, which will ferry them to the first tee.
