🇲🇽 🏌🏽♂️ World Wide Technology Championship – November 6-9, 2025 – El Cardonal at Diamante, Los Cabos • Mexico
🧐 Established in 2007 as the Mayakoba Golf Classic, it was the first official PGA Tour event ever held in Mexico or outside the U.S. and Canada. Initially an alternate event played opposite the WGC Match Play*, it earned full FedExCup points and Masters invitations when it moved to mid-November in 2013. The tournament moved from the Riviera Maya to Los Cabos in 2023, marking its third year in Los Cabos for the 2025 edition.
*The World Golf Championship Match Play (officially titled the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in its final years) was a professional men's golf tournament that stood out on the PGA Tour because it was the only one of the World Golf Championships (WGC) events to use the match play format.
⛳️ The tournament is played on the El Cardonal course at Diamante Cabo San Lucas, designed by Tiger Woods and his firm, TGR Design.
🏆 The trophy features the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas cast in bronze and plated with rhodium. A crystal is suspended within the arch, and underneath sits a transparent blue crystal representing the ocean floor, showcasing local sea life like marlins and whales. It highlights the unique geography and aquatic fauna of Los Cabos.
🙌🏼 The inaugural winner in 2007 was Fred Funk, who, at 50 years and 257 days old, became the oldest PGA Tour winner in nearly 32 years at the time. The current tournament record score (−27) was set by Matt Kuchar in 2024.
The event features four additional sponsor exemptions designated for players of Spanish or Mexican heritage from Latin America, South America, Spain, or Mexico, as part of the tournament's effort to promote golf in Latin America.

🏆 Winner 2025: 🇺🇸 Ben Griffin ($1,080,000) - Age: 29 - Turned Pro in 2018
Ben Griffin secured his 3rd PGA Tour victory of 2025. He delivered a masterful final round, carding a 9-under 63 to finish at a tournament-record 29-under 259, two strokes clear of his nearest competitors. His performance included a series of clutch putts, notably a 40-foot birdie on the 11th hole and a 25-foot birdie on the 16th, which effectively sealed his victory. Griffin’s win not only earned him the $1.08 million winner’s share of the $6 million purse but also solidified his status as one of the PGA Tour’s most consistent performers of the season, joining Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy as the only players with three wins in 2025.

💒 Personal milestone: beyond his golfing achievements, 2025 is a personal milestone year for Griffin, as he is set to marry his fiancée, Dana Myeroff, in December. He joked, “Crazy, three wins and getting married in the same year, hard to beat”!
🇺🇸 Ryder Cup debut: Griffin made his Ryder Cup debut in 2025, representing the United States and contributing to the team’s efforts.
⛳️ Putting prowess: Griffin is renowned for his putting skills, which were on full display during the final round in Mexico. He birdied all four par-3s and made several long, pressure-packed putts to secure his victory.
💪🏽 Griffin's 2 other victories on the PGA Tour in 2025 were: Zurich Classic of New Orleans (team event, with partner Andrew Novak in April 2025) and Charles Schwab Challenge (individual victory in May 2025).
🇧🇲 🏌🏽♂️ Butterfield Bermuda Championship – November 13-16, 2025 – Port Royal Golf Course, Southampton • Bermuda
🧐 The tournament debuted in 2019 as an alternate event on the PGA Tour, played opposite the WGC-HSBC Champions. From 2020 to 2022, due to the cancellation of the WGC event, the Bermuda Championship was elevated to a full FedExCup points event, with the winner earning an invitation to the Masters Tournament.
⛳️ The event is played at the Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton Parish, Bermuda. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones.
🏆 The trophy is crafted by a local Bermudian artist and is unique to the island. The trophy design reflects local culture and craftsmanship.
🌊 The course features ocean views from nearly every hole, offering spectators an experience where the setting is as memorable as the golf. The small crowds compared to mainland events often allow for a more personal, up-close experience with the players.
The Port Royal Golf Course is known for its dramatic signature hole, the par-3 16th, which sits directly above the Atlantic Ocean, offering a breathtaking and challenging tee shot.

🇺🇸 🏌🏽♂️ The RSM Classic – November 20-23, 2025 – Sea Island Golf Club (Seaside Course), St. Simons Island, Georgia • USA
🧐 The tournament debuted in 2010 as The McGladrey Classic. Since its inception, it has been hosted by resident touring professional Davis Love III and is run by the Davis Love Foundation, with a strong focus on charitable giving within the local community. To date, the tournament has raised over $48 million for charities focused on children and families in need.
⛳️ The event uses two courses at the Sea Island Golf Club: the Seaside Course (primarily for the final round) and the Plantation Course. The original Seaside Course was designed by Harry S. Colt and Charles Alison, and later redesigned by Tom Fazio. The Plantation Course was designed by Walter Travis and later renovated by Davis Love III’s firm, Love Golf Design.
Since 2015, the tournament has been played over the two courses (Seaside and Plantation) due to its expanded field of 156 players, which is large for a standard stroke play event. The tournament record is −29 (253 strokes), set by Ludvig Åberg in 2023.
The tournament is known for its coastal setting and strong community involvement. It typically offers one of the lowest winning scores relative to par on the entire PGA Tour schedule, due to the courses’ playability in good weather.
