The Mayakoba Golf Classic has been running in the Riviera Maya since 2007, and is the first and only stop in Mexico on the PGA Tour. Located in the stunning resort area of Mayakoba, the Golf Classic is the perfect mix of world-class golf and stunning Caribbean landscape. This really is one of the most spectacularly beautiful courses on the PGA Tour. In true Mexican style, the Mayakoba Golf Classic seamlessly blends the tradition of golf and the vibrant culture of the Riviera Maya, to create one of the biggest golf parties around. You can watch some of the greatest names in golf, including Abraham Ancer, Aaron Baddeley, Bronson Burgoon, Zac Blair, Fabian Gomez and Brian Harman, and then let loose at one of the daily parties and events. For 2020, the Mayakoba Golf Classic has teamed up with Tequila Patron who will create a specialist Beach Club and put on a huge closing party on the last day of the tour. As this year will mark the 14th edition of the tournament in the Riviera Maya, PGA wanted to do something a little bit special using an amazing three-pillar initiative. They want to prove that the Mayakoba Golf Classic is so much more than just golf, and so Giving, Gourmet, Family was born.
