Why did Tiger Woods arrive in Cabo ahead of the 2023 WWT Championship? All you need to know
On Tuesday, October 31, Tiger Woods was spotted at El Cardonal at Diamante in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, ahead of the 2023 WWT Championship. Opened in 2014, El Cardonal at Diamante was the first golf course designed by Woods.
This year's WWT Championship will be the first-ever PGA Tour event played on this golf course. Earlier this year, the PGA Tour signed a five-year deal with Diamante to host the event. The tournament was previously held at El Camaleon Golf Club near Cancun, which now hosts LIV Golf's Mayakoba event.
In a video shared by the PGA Tour, Woods was seen moving around Diamante on a golf cart and having a conversation with officials.
El Cardonal got its name from the cardon, a large desert tree that is abundant in the Baja California region. The par-72, 7,452-yard golf course will host 132 players starting on Thursday, November 2, competing for a purse of $8.2 million.
In addition to El Cardonal, Tiger Woods has also designed a short course at Diamante called The Oasis, which opened in December 2016, while the third layout, The Legacy, is currently in progress.
