While the top 64 in the world are playing in the match play event, the rest of the tour is in Mexico for the Maykoba Golf Classic.
The Mayakoba Classic is contested at El Camaleon Golf Club, a Greg Norman design. Located in the Playa del Carmen region on the Gulf of Mexico, the course is a par-71 measuring at 6,923 yards. The course ranks just above middle of the road in difficulty, so expect to see some low scoring.
Big names in the field this week include Tom Lehman, Jerry Kelly, Lee Janzen, Charles Howell III, Jason Gore, Greg Norman, Jose Maria Olazabal, Rory Sabbatini and Jhonny Vegas.
