Take a bow, Ben Griffin. You joined Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy as the only men to win three times on the PGA Tour this season.

The breakout star of the tour this season shot a nine-under 63 Sunday with nine birdies and a bogey to win the World Wide Technology Championship by two shots. The U.S. Ryder Cup participant added the trophy to his from the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and Charles Schwab Championship earlier this year.

Griffin earned $1.08 million from the overall $6 million purse.

At any other time of the year, a trip to Cabo San Lucas and El Cardonal at Diamante, might feel like a working vacation for PGA Tour pros. But coming into the event only three weeks remained in the FedEx Cup Fall series, thus making it one of the last opportunities for players to secure a tour card for 2026. Chad Ramey and Sami Valimaki, who tied for second place two shots behind Griffin, both jumped into the top 100 in FedEx points.

A refresher: Nos. 51-70 in the FedEx Cup standings have already clinched status for next year but are playing for spots in the first two signature events of 2026. The top 100 earn full status for next year. Those who rank from 101-125 at the end of the fall will have conditional status for next year and anyone outside the top 100 is eligible to attend PGA Tour Q-School to try to improve status.

Diamante Golf Club: El Cardonal
Cabo San Lucas, Baja Sur, Mexico
The PGA Tour debuted a new tournament venue last year, now serving as the host of the World Wide Technology Championship. El Cardonal usually plays backup to the Mexican resort’s other course, the Dunes, ranked 47th in the Golf Digest World’s 100 Greatest Courses. Though El Cardonal lacks the sensational seaside setting and prolific sand dunes that border the holes of the Dunes course (designed by Mark and Davis Love III, with associate Paul Cowley, in 2010), it has a notable caché of its own as the first course that Tiger Woods and his TGR Design studio built. Opened in 2014, El Cardonal sits in the desert uplands above the sister course with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and holes that run primarily north-south, meaning the prevailing coastal winds are typically crossing. Completed early in Woods' architectural career, El Cardonal strikes chords that the 15-time major champion has continued to use in his subsequent designs at Bluejack National in Texas and Payne’s Valley at Big Cedar Lodge in Missouri (Beau Welling was Woods’ lead designer at all three projects). The common theme at each course is playability, as Woods generally gives golfers plenty of space off the tee to find different routes to the hole and forgiving short-grass areas to miss shots coming into the greens. Woods' courses are far from the early Jack Nicklaus-style designs conceived with PGA Tour-player shot-making in mind. The generous fairways, many set diagonally to the tee shot, will entice drives to cut corners of sandy arroyos and fly bunkers. The greens are varied in size, shape and orientation—some are curved or heart-shaped, others long and narrow—with small contours and ripples that can provide challenging hole locations and multi-break lag putts, an underrated facet of the game where Woods excelled. Players who miss greens will have a variety of recovery options off the fairway-cut surrounds, though most may choose to hit a higher, spinning pitch off the sticky seaside paspalum grass. The cascading nature of the property, falling more than 200 feet from high to low, will generate exciting play. Seven holes run downhill, but these are usually longer yardages while the shorter par 4s play uphill. All the par 5s should be easily reachable for the pros, even the 601-yard uphill sixth, and players may have short irons into the pair that slide downhill. The final five holes should provide a spectacle, starting with a short par 5 going up and over an arroyo, a stout par 4 that’s likely to play into the wind and a wedge par 3 to a slender “island” green propped above desert. The scenic par-4 17th plays dramatically off the site’s highest point followed by another steeply downhill par-5 finishing hole. Similar in playability to the 18th at Kapalua's Plantation course (site of the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii), it’s possible that long second shots that bound onto the putting surface off the contours short-right of the green will result in a potentially winning eagle putt.
