The PGA Tour remains in Mexico for the second consecutive week, this time playing at the World Wide Technology Championship, where the field will be playing for $6 million with the winner taking home $1.08 million at El Cardonal at Diamante in Los Cabos.
Ben Griffin is the defending champion and is back. But he’s not the highest ranked player in the field. That’s his North Carolina teammate, Ryan Gerard, who is No. 23. Griffin is at No. 25 and just tied for fourth place last week at the VidantaWorld Mexico Open.
Young guns Jackson Koivun, Ben James, Blades Brown, Luke Clanton, Gordon Sargent and David Ford are all playing too. European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald is in action.
A reminder that only two events remain after this week with events in Texas and Georgia. Those finishing inside the top 100 in FedEx standings will earn exempt status for next year, and the players between Nos. 93 (Christiaan Bezuidenhout) and 99 (Chandler Phillips) are all in the field. So expect a lot of movement with only limited time remaining.
