Description The Mayakoba Golf Classic is a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour in Mexico, held at El Camaleon Golf Club, Playa del Carmen, south of Cancún. It debuted in February 2007 and was the first PGA Tour event in Mexico this century.
Originally an alternate event in late winter, the tournament was played the same week as the WGC Match Play event in Arizona. Mayakoba was part of the FedEx Cup, but only earned half the points of a regular event.
El Camaleón Golf Club at the Mayakoba resort is another masterpiece of Australian golf legend, Greg Norman. The 7,039-yard course bends through three distinct landscapes - tropical jungle, dense mangroves, and oceanfront stretches of sand with holes bisected by massive limestone canals. The course even incorporates a cenote- an underground cavern common to the area- into the heart of the opening fairway.
