World Wide Technology Championship 2025 Garrick Higgo

World Wide Technology Championship 2025 Intro

It still weighs heavy on the heart that we don’t get to see Tiger playing these days but at least the great man shows off another string to his bow this week.

El Cardonal at Diamante is the first Tiger Woods-designed course to be used on the PGA Tour and this will be its third time hosting.

Birdies are very much the name of the game on the par 72 and Austin Eckroat poured in no less than 30 of them on the way to victory last year.

The race to go low is framed in the context of not just trying to secure first prize but also retaining playing privileges for next season.

Only the top 100 retain their cards for 2026 (down from 125) and this week’s showdown in Mexico is one of just three remaining events on the schedule.

Next week, the PGA Tour heads to Bermuda before the 2025 campaign is rounded off by The RSM Classic in Georgia.

The 120-man field this week is highlighted by two members of the US Ryder Cup team at Bethpage.

Ben Griffin and J.J. Spaun won three points from a combined five matches in New York so were two of the better performers in the defeat to Europe.

They’re joint +1400 favorites to win here.

  • With wide fairways and a lack of wind, scoring will be low again

Favorites to Win the World Wide Technology Championship 2025

Ben Griffin (+1400) at bet365

It’s been a year to remember for Griffin after two wins and two second places were parlayed into a Ryder Cup debut. He was probably underused at Bethpage but still emerged with credit after winning one point from his two matches, a singles victory over Rasmus Hojgaard. Griffin was fourth in last year’s Mexico Open while on this course he posted top 25s in both editions. We last saw him trying his luck on the DP World Tour where he finished 32nd in the India Championship.

J.J. Spaun (+1400) at bet365

As with Griffin, it’s been a career year for Spaun who made the big breakthrough with a shock win in the US Open. Then again, it hardly came out of left field given that he was runner-up in both THE PLAYERS Championship and Cognizant Classic prior to that golden moment at Oakmont. Since landing major glory, he’s added a second place at St Jude and sixth last time out in the Procore Championship. Spaun hasn’t played since winning two points out of three at the Ryder Cup so could be rusty on a course where he’s yet to excel (30th and 67th).

Si Woo Kim (+1800) at bet365

Kim is making his course debut and first start in Mexico since 2019. A look back and he managed third in this event (named the OHL Classic in those days) when it was held at El Camaleon in 2017. He arrives on a run of five straight top 25s. The middle of those was fifth in the BMW Championship in England while he’s since posted 20th in the Baycurrent Classic and 21st at the Genesis Championship in his native Korea.

Home in on Higgo 

While Michael Brennan’s win at the recent Bank of Utah Championship on his first PGA TOUR start as a pro suggests we look towards the new, emerging stars again, it may help to side with a bit of experience.

The last seven editions of this event (five held at El Camaleon) have been won by players already with a PGA TOUR title so that helps make the argument for Garrick Higgo.

The 26-year-old from South Africa racked up three victories on the DP World Tour across 2020 and 2021 and he’s already a two-time PGA TOUR winner.

The first came at the Palmetto Championship back in 2021 while earlier this year he scored a one-shot win at the Corales Puntacana Championship.

The latter, like this one, is a seaside event played on Paspalum greens.

Higgo again showed his liking for such surfaces when sixth on his debut in this event last year while he’s been hot across three starts in the Fall Series with a run of 7-2-4.  

In such strong form he’s well worth an each-way play at 28/1 (1/4 1-2-3-4-5) with bet365.

Hoey to Beat Thorbjornsen

Rico Hoey has hit a rich vein of form and I’ll take him to beat Michael Thorbjornsen over 72 holes in a -110 pick ‘em at bet365.

Hoey was ninth at the Procore Championship in the first of the four Fall Series events he’s played while he’s posted fourth (Baycurrent Classic) and second (Bank of Utah) in the latest two.

There’s every reason to think that one of the PGA TOUR’s elite ball-strikers can thrive again.

Thorbjornsen is a huge talent but, as with many youngsters, is still a little in and out.

He played some great stuff to be third at the Baycurrent but that’s his only top 10 in the last eight starts so Hoey is more reliable.

Jaeger for Top 10

For a Top 10 bet, try Stephan Jaeger at +500 with bet365.

The German has finished sixth and third on his last two visits to Mexico and was in the top three at halfway on his only start on this course two years ago.

He returns on the back of 11th place at the Bank of Utah Championship.
