A lot of big names in golf will be playing in the next PGA Tour event, including Ludvig Aberg, winner of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, winner of the Barracuda Championship, and many more.
We look at seven interesting things about Tiger Woods’ El Cardonal track.
Here are seven things you should know about the site of the 2023 World Wide Technology Championship before it starts. The El Cardonal track at Diamante is:
7 It’s part of a plan for more growth.
A second golf course was built at Diamante. It was called El Cardonal and was planned by Tiger Woods. The first was the Dunes Course, which was built in 2009 and was planned by Davis Love III. It got a lot of attention because it was on the coast and had sand.
The El Cardonal path, on the other hand, was farther inland and higher up. Also, each of the 18 holes has a view of the water.
6: The people can also get it.
A lot of people come from all over the world to play on the Tiger Woods-designed course, which is at the very southern tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula.
The course is open to everyone because of the Hard Rock and Nobu hotels. Resort guests can only reserve a limited number of game times.
5: It has a special beat
There is a championship golf course at El Cardonal at Diamante. It is 7,363 yards long and has 72 holes. It gets a score of 75.9 and has 140 hills. It’s very different at the back tees, which face the lodge.
The tees, which are longer, line up with the arroyos. Keep in mind that the middle tees are harder to play from because you have to stay on the away line. The beginning and finishing tees are easier to play because of the way the land is laid out.
4: The golf course is built in a beautiful spot
El Cardonal was created by Tiger Woods and is set on a large area of land. There are cacti, palo verde trees, and other thorny desert plants all around it. A mile-long strip of land drops 240 feet from the 17th tee to the third green.
This 225-acre piece of land is in the foothills of the Baja California desert and has a steady 4% slope. The view of the Pacific Ocean makes the players and caddies want to go hiking.
3: Tiger Woods will open a club at the site
People go to El Cardonal for the tacos and alcohol, but Tiger Woods is also planning a second project in Diamante. He is making a club called Diamante: The Legacy that will only let people who are invited join. The plan is for it to start working in 2024.
2: The name of the track comes from Woods’ old school.
The name of the golf course at Diamante comes from the school where Tiger Woods went to school. The fifteen-time major winner played for two years as a Cardinal while he was at Stanford. He won 11 events during that time, which tied the school mark. Also, he won eight of the first thirteen events he played in 1996.
1: Woods’s first track ever
The famous PGA Tour winner, who won 82 times, made his first course, El Cardonal at Diamante. It began in 2014, and Woods hit the first shot from the formal tee during the ribbon cutting.
