Fred Funk won the inaugural Mayakoba Golf Classic, the PGA Tour’s first official event in Mexico, in 2007.
Funk defeated Argentina’s José Cóceres in a playoff at El Camaleón Golf Club in the Riviera Maya. He finished the tournament at 14 under par with a four-round total of 266, then prevailed in the extra holes to claim the title.
The victory was notable because Funk was 50 years old and had won on the Champions Tour four months earlier. His Mayakoba triumph made him the oldest PGA Tour winner in nearly 32 years at that time. The event began as a February alternate tournament and later moved to the autumn schedule.
The tournament changed names several times, including OHL Classic at Mayakoba and World Wide Technology Championship. It remained at Mayakoba through 2022, after which the PGA Tour ended its relationship with the venue as the course became associated with LIV Golf.
