The PGA TOUR has officially announced the addition of PGA Riviera Maya to the Korn Ferry Tour for the 2025 season, marking Mexico’s historic debut in this prestigious international calendar. This professional golf event places Tulum Country Club and the Tulum Championship in the global spotlight.
Korn Ferry Tour: The Gateway to the PGA TOUR
The Korn Ferry Tour is one of the most important development circuits in professional golf, serving as the pathway to the PGA TOUR. With over 26 venues worldwide, it is where the most promising golfers compete for their chance to earn a coveted PGA TOUR card.
Only the top 25 players of the season secure their place in the elite ranks of global golf, making this tour a highly competitive and prestigious platform.
Hosting an event of this magnitude is both an honor and an invaluable opportunity for PGA Riviera Maya and Tulum Country Club. The international media exposure, the influx of spectators, and the participation of the best rising golf stars solidify this course as one of the most important in Latin America and establish Tulum as a hub for professional golf.
Tulum Championship: A World-Class Event
The Tulum Championship at PGA Riviera Maya, taking place from April 28 to May 4, 2025, will mark a milestone in Mexico’s golfing history. As the seventh and final international event of the Korn Ferry Tour in the 2025 season, this tournament firmly establishes Mexico as a key destination for the development of professional golf.
Additionally, it represents Mexico’s first-ever inclusion in this prestigious circuit, further reinforcing its growth as a global reference in professional golf.
At Tulum Country Club, nominated for Latin America’s Best Real Estate Golf Venue 2025, we take great pride in rising to this exciting challenge. In 2024, we were recognized as the Best ProAm Organizer of the PGA TOUR Americas, and this year, we are set to elevate the experience even further.
Tulum: The Evolution of a Destination
Tulum has transformed beyond a vacation destination. Its evolution has positioned it among forward-thinking cities such as Dubai, Barcelona, New York, and Miami, offering a unique blend of nature, mysticism, culture, and relaxed luxury. The expansion of tourism and real estate offerings, the opening of Tulum International Airport, the Mayan Train, and Jaguar Park have accelerated Tulum’s growth and global recognition.
This continuous development has attracted world-class events like the Tulum Championship, further strengthening Tulum’s brand in key markets such as the United States, Canada, and Latin America, where the Korn Ferry Tour has a strong presence. Moreover, golf tourism—a high-value strategic segment—is essential to the region’s economic growth. This audience seeks exclusive experiences and, on average, spends significantly more than conventional tourists.
A Showcase for Prestigious Brands
Golf has gained significant prominence in media and social networks, and international tournaments have become ideal platforms for brands to align with values such as excellence, exclusivity, luxury, and sustainability. In this regard, the Tulum Championship directly enhances Tulum Country Club’s positioning as the premier real estate offering in southeastern Mexico, projecting the region to a highly segmented and affluent audience.
Additionally, PGA Riviera Maya, recognized by the World Travel Awards as the Best Golf Course in Mexico, continues to establish itself as a must-visit course for golf enthusiasts worldwide.
Tulum Country Club & PGA Riviera Maya: Ready to Welcome the World
At Tulum Country Club and PGA Riviera Maya, we are fully prepared to welcome the world of golf and continue shaping the future of golf in Mexico. This event marks the beginning of a new era for golf in Tulum and offers a unique opportunity for golfers, tourists, and investors to be part of this exciting chapter.
