The 2022-2023 PGA Tour season heads to Playa del Carmen, Mexico, starting Thursday with the World Technical Championships in Mayakoba.

He is second in the opening odds at +1100, second only to the world number one. 2 Scotty Schaeffler (+900). This week, Scheffler could take the top spot from Rory McIlroy in the official World Golf Rankings.

Other notable names in the Mayakoba field include Collin Morikawa, Tony Finau, Jason Day, Billy Horschel and Justin Rose.

Course Preview

El Camaleón Golf Course is 7,034 yards long, par 71 with paspalum greens. Greg Norman designed the course when it opened in 2006. Like named after a chameleon and appearing on the trophy, the course’s landscape is constantly changing as it showcases three different environments: the Mexican Caribbean coastline, the Mayan jungle and the mangrove wetlands.

This is the 16th time in the past 17 years that the Mayakoba Global Technical Championship has been featured on the PGA TOUR schedule, with every race taking place in El Camaleón. It was the first PGA Tour event to be held outside the United States or Canada in 2007.
