After stops in Japan and Utah, the PGA Tour now heads to Mexico for the World Wide Technology Championship. Following a one-week hiatus after Michael Brennan’s incredible win at the Bank of Utah Championship, the FedEx Cup Fall culminates with three events over the next three weeks.
El Cardonal will host the WWT Championship for a third time following the event’s move from El Camaleon at Mayakoba after the 2022 edition. El Cardonal at Diamante is a 7,452-yard, par-72 track designed by Tiger Woods, which opened in 2014. The locale became the first Woods design to host a PGA Tour event when it welcomed the WWT Championship in 2023.
2025 U.S. Open winner J.J. Spaun headlines this year’s WWT Championship field alongside fellow U.S. Ryder Cup teammate Ben Griffin. Erik van Rooyen will tee it up again in this event after winning the inaugural World Wide Technology Championship at El Cardonal in 2023. Last year’s winner, Austin Eckroat, is also back to defend his title after the 26-year-old won for a second time on the PGA Tour here last year.
With the FedEx Cup Fall quickly winding down, the stakes are high for this week’s 120-man field at the WWT Championship. Let’s dive into the picks and predictions.
2025 World Wide Technology Championship picks and predictionsTop 20 pick for the WWT Championship: Kevin Yu (+110)
In three events during the FedEx Cup Fall, Kevin Yu has yet to finish worse than T20. Yu comes into this year’s World Wide Technology Championship fresh off a T15 finish in Utah two weeks ago, and he is currently well-positioned to secure his spot in the first two Signature Events next year, sitting at 59th in the FedEx Cup Fall standings.
Sleeper pick for the WWT Championship: Ben Kohles (+11000)
Ben Kohles comes into the World Wide Technology Championship after two top-26 finishes in his last three starts this FedEx Cup Fall. Kohles, who finished in a tie for 20th at the Bank of Utah Championship two weeks ago, has some work to do over the next several weeks to secure his PGA Tour status for 2026. The 2024 runner-up at the Byron Nelson ranks fifth in the field in strokes gained tee to green and second in Approach over his last seven starts, per Data Golf.
Pick to win the WWT Championship: Garrick Higgo (+2200)
Making his second start at El Cardonal last year, Higgo bounced back from a missed cut in 2023, finishing tied for sixth. The South African earned his second PGA Tour win at the Corales Puntacana Championship in April, and he has been in exceptional form this fall with top-seven finishes in each of his last three starts. Higgo, who finished runner-up at the Sanderson Farms Championship last month, could be on the verge of claiming a third PGA Tour win.
Pick to win the WWT Championship: Max Greyserman (+2000)
Max Greyserman will tee it up in Mexico this week after finishing runner-up in Japan in his most recent start for a second year in a row. Greyserman has accumulated five runner-up finishes on the PGA Tour without a win since the start of 2024. The 30-year-old, who is almost a lock to be teeing it up in the first two Signature Events of 2026, followed a runner-up finish in Japan with a top-four finish at the World Wide Technology Championship last year.
