Thank God it\u2019s football season because I don\u2019t know what to do with myself when there\u2019s no golf to watch all week. Luckily, the PGA TOUR is back in action south of the border and returning to a golf course brought to life by a gentleman named Eldrick.<\/p>\n
The Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal at Diamante Cabo San Lucas in Los Cabos, Mexico, will welcome the world\u2019s best Thursday morning, a field that includes a couple United States Ryder Cuppers and a few rising stars.<\/p>\n
J.J. Spaun, an automatic qualifier for Keegan Bradley\u2019s squad and the reigning U.S. Open champion, last played at the Procore Championship\u2014Team USA used it as a tune up for Bethpage Black\u2014and finished sixth. He played at Tiger\u2019s track the last two years, finishing T-30 in 2024 and T-67 in 2023.<\/p>\n
One of Bradley\u2019s captain\u2019s picks, Ben Griffin, like Spaun, hasn\u2019t played since that week in Napa. The 29-year-old fell to World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler at Silverado by a shot and finished the week with a silver medal. In his last 13 starts, Griffin has finished T-14 or better 11 times. I guess you could say the kid is feeling it. In two previous appearances at El Cardonal, Griffin has two top-25 finishes.<\/p>\n
Spaun and Griffin are co-betting-favorites at 13\/1 (+1300).<\/p>\n
Some of the other names on the tee sheet include Luke Clanton, Wyndham Clark, Joel Dahmen, Team Europe captain Luke Donald, Nick Dunlap, defending champion Austin Eckroat, Adam Hadwin, Si Woo Kim, Keith Mitchell, and Nick Taylor. Michael Brennan, winner of the Bank of Utah Championship as a sponsor exemption in just his third TOUR start, is also in the field.<\/p>\n
As for the golf course, El Cardonal is a par-72 track that measures 7,452 yards on the scorecard.<\/p>\n
It should be a fun week down in Mexico.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a look at the full field for the World Wide Technology Championship.<\/p>\n
