The World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba has been played under various names since 2007. It is a 72-hole, stroke play tournament, with a cut after 36 holes down to the top 65 players and ties.

What Course is the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba Held at?

The World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba is held at the El Camaleón Golf Course. It was designed by golf great Greg Norman in 2006 and has hosted PGA Tour events since 2007.

The course blends perfectly with its surrounding natural habitats winding through jungles, mangroves and beach areas, which provide plenty of natural and water hazards.

The course is par 71, 7,039 yards and plays as one of the easier courses on the Tour with the last five winners averaging just under (-21). Driving accuracy will play a major factor this week with tight fairways and hazards lining the course, long drives will not necessarily be a prerequisite for winning here.

Par 3 scoring will be a stat to watch as three of the four par 3s are measuring under 155 yards. Strokes gained: approach will lead to racking up the birdies this week for the field.

2022 World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba Picks & Predictions

Viktor Hovland Tournament Winner | +1100 at BetMGM

Viktor has the opportunity for a three-peat with a win this week at the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba. He has been playing well this season, tying for 5 and 21 in the first two tournaments he has played this year.

He is strong off the tee and has also shown he can win at this course and holds the tournament record for aggregate score to par.

Colin Morikawa Top 5 Finish | +333 at BetMGM

Morikawa has not had the strongest start to the season this year and has never played this course, but this course will play well to his strengths and could be the jump start he needs.

This season and last, he is in the top 20 strokes gained: approach to green and tee to green, which will play major factors this week. His putting is something to keep an eye on but the greens are slower than most other tour courses which should help.

Scottie Scheffler Top 10 Finish | -120 at BetMGM

Scottie Scheffler just lost his No. 1 world golf ranking and will likely be doing everything he can to get back on top. Finishing in the top 10 is easier said than done but Scottie has all the tools to compete and a little extra motivation to get back to No. 1.
