The OHL Classic 2016 is almost here, and once again we will have the opportunity to see the best golfers play in the Riviera Maya. This event has a purse of 7 million dollars and will feature 132 professional golf players participating from November 7-13, 2016.
This event became the first PGA Tour event held outside the United States and Canada, and it is Mexico’s only PGA Tour event. The winner of this event gets a prize of over a million dollars, 500 FEDEX points and an invitation to the Master’s.
Every year this prestigious golf tournament is held in El Camaleon Golf Club, in the luxurious beachside Mayakoba resort complex. El Camaleon Golf Club is an 18 holes course designed by Greg Norman, and it has distinctive tropical surroundings with mangroves, cenotes and amazing views to the Caribbean.
The OHL Classic is a great event, ideal for fans of Golfing or even people without any previous knowledge. What better way to learn more about this exciting sport than seeing the world’s greatest players in action?
If you think this event is completely out of your budget, think again! The general admission fee is only $6 USD and children under 17 don’t have to pay as long as they are accompanied by an adult. This low fee covers the entrance to the event, public bleachers and entrance to the CORALINA beach club, only steps away from the 15th green.
If you are looking for a little bit of comfort while enjoying this event, there are options available for you: Heineken El Camino offers exclusive spaces to enjoy the best views, as well as drinks, snacks and appetizers; while the Banorte Fiesta Club gives you the opportunity to see the final of each game with an open bar and a buffet.
Charity and the Ambassadors Program
The OHL Classic cares for the community, and has donated 1.5 million to programs that benefit the people living in the Riviera Maya. It also runs the Golf para todos event, a program that welcomes the local community in a monthly event, making golf accessible to everyone.
There is also the Ambassadors Program, a project that allows volunteers from the community and local ONG’s to participate in the OHL Open in exchange for a donation for the charity of their choosing.
If you love golf, the Ambassadors program is also a great way to be inches away from the best players in the world and be part of this exciting tournament. If you want to be part of the Ambassadors program, these are some of the local organizations that participate:
