Mayakoba Golf

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.

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.
