The latest leg of the PGA Tour heads to Mexico for the World Wide Technology Championship at El Camaleon Golf Club in Mayakoba where Viktor Hovland will be confident of winning for the third successive year.
Last year’s success for the Norwegian marked the first of three wins in five tournaments. However, he has failed to win a tournament since the Slync.io Dubai Desert Classic at the start of the year. That win propelled him to World No.3 but he has steadily dropped down the Official World Golf Ranking in the ensuing months and is currently World No.11.
Despite that, the 25-year-old has plenty of room for optimism that he will earn his fourth PGA Tour victory this week. Although his win in the tournament two years ago (then named the Mayakoba Golf Classic) was by just one shot over Aaron Wise, he was far more assured last year, winning by four shots over Carlos Ortiz to finish 23-under for the tournament – a new record in the event.
Hovland will face some stiff competition, though, not least from World No.2 Scottie Scheffler. The American had been World No.1 until Rory McIlroy surpassed him following his win in the CJ Cup in October and he will be hoping it proves to be a short-lived drop. The 26-year-old needs either a win or to finish outright second to regain the top spot this week.
As well as Hovland and Scheffler, World No.9 Collin Morikawa is in the field along with two more players from the world’s top 20, World No.14 Tony Finau and World No.16 Billy Horschel. Seamus Power, who won last week's Butterfield Bermuda Championship, also plays.
Others hoping to make an impact will be the previous three winners before Hovland’s 2020 success, Brendon Todd, Matt Kuchar and Patton Kizzire. The winner the year before Kizzire, Pat Perez, now plays with LIV Golf so is ineligible this week.
El Camaleon Golf Club is a Greg Norman-designed course that will see players negotiate diverse landscapes including jungle, long stretches of sand, freshwater canals and mangroves in pursuit of the first prize of $1.476m from a purse of $8.2m, an increase of $1m from last year.
