Mexico’s Riviera Maya has long been attractive to soon-to-be retirees. Whether it’s the climate, the proximity to the United States or the lifestyle it offers, there has been no shortage of foreigners making their retirement home in Mexico. But, it is also a top golfing destination, which is just an added bonus for many retirees. In fact, some of the Riviera Maya’s most privileged golf courses were designed by the likes of Jack Nicklaus and Robert Trent Jones. Additionally, having these golf courses opens the opportunity for PGA Tour tournaments taking place here. Such is the case of the Mayakoba Golf Classic, which has been running for 11 years and is back this year with its 12th edition in November.
Mayakoba Golf Classic: Legends of Golf
The Mayakoba Golf Classic was the first-ever PGA Tour event to take place outside the USA or Canada. Naturally, it attracts thousands of golf aficionados both living in the Riviera Maya and just traveling for the tournament. It takes place at the El Camaleon Golf Club, which was designed by Australian golf legend Greg Norman. During a whole week, the golf course will see familiar golf professionals such as reigning champion Patton Kizzire and Rick Fowler. They will be up against another 26 international professionals from Mexico, the USA, Venezuela, North Ireland, Korea and Argentina.
The event is regarded as one of the finest on the PGA Tour. It has opened the opportunity for American retirees who are golfing aficionados to have something close to home in their new permanent home. Legendary golfers have played the course for years and many fans have witnessed their exciting games.
If you don’t want to miss out on the chance of seeing these golf legends up and close, make sure to purchase your tickets to the Mayakoba Golf Classic as soon as you can. This event has a cause behind it all. In fact, the public helps decide which organization deserves a special donation. Moreover, the Golf PARa Todos (Golf FORE Everyone) continues being the star of the show. The program helps educate about golf and everything it entails – including the PGA Tour. It helps integrate golf to everyone’s lifestyle. This is perfect for any enthusiastic golfer who retires to the Riviera Maya.
