WWT Championship Tees Off in Los Cabos With Five Mexicans and Sponsor Eyeing Extension

A technology showcase for WWT, the tournament offers a rare home-stage audition for Mexico’s emerging pros.

Overview

  • The 120-player PGA Tour event runs Nov. 6–9 at El Cardonal in Cabo San Lucas with a $6 million purse.
  • Mexico’s contingent features Emilio González, Raúl Pereda, Emilio Gil Leyva, Omar Morales and Alejandro Madariaga, with Leyva competing as an amateur.
  • Pereda earned his spot through the Monday qualifier with a 64 (−8), returning to a PGA Tour event after losing his 2024 card.
  • González arrives after winning the Albertsons Boise Open to finish fifth on the 2025 points list, securing a 2026 PGA Tour card and an exemption into this week.
  • WWT calls its Mexico commitment a low-risk, high-value bet, says it is in talks to extend its naming deal beyond 2027, and highlights on-course sensors, real-time analytics and AI tools during the event.
