The World Wide Technology Championship marks its 20th anniversary this year, reflecting on two decades since its inception as a bold experiment on the PGA Tour. Originally launched as the Mayakoba Golf Classic in 2007, the tournament has grown into a fixture on the tour calendar, held annually in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

Over the years, the event has attracted top players and delivered memorable moments, solidifying its reputation as a key stop on the PGA Tour's fall schedule. The championship's evolution from a risky venture to a celebrated legacy underscores the tournament's impact on professional golf and its connection to the local community.

Golfweek's Adam Schupak chronicled the milestone in a feature published on November 3, 2026, highlighting the tournament's journey and enduring significance.
