Odds provided by FanDuel – accurate as of November 8

Max Greyserman (+800 at BetMGM sportsbook)

American Max Greyserman has been a severe roll lately as the 27-year-old has strung together several excellent results over the last few months on the PGA Tour. Greyserman is currently on a run that has seen him record three second place finishes during his last five events, as well as having made the cut in ten consecutive tournaments. While Greyserman continues to search for his first win on tour, he has climbed to an impressive 40th place in the official world golf rankings and will look to get that number even higher this week.

Cameron Young (+2000 at BetMGM sportsbook)

*Withdrew from tournament

Sitting 33rd in the official world golf rankings, Cameron Young arrives in Mexico also in search of his first PGA Tour victory. With six top 10 finishes this year, it has been another successful season for Young. While the first career victory seems to be eluding him, he certainly has the game and experience to find himself lifting the championship trophy at weeks end. World Wide Technology Championship odds list Young as the second favorite behind Greyserman and his results last year on this course probably have a lot to do with that.

Matti Schmid (+10000 at DraftKings sportsbook)

Germany’s Matti Schmid has been playing some great golf lately as he continues to make appearances during the PGA Tour’s FedExCup Fall season. The up and coming 26-year-old has put together a great stretch of results over the past three events, posting results of tied for 16th, solo fifth and a tie for third his last time out at the Shriners Children’s Open. Schmid has made the cut in eight straight events as he has climbed up the official world golf rankings to 95th position. Like others on this list, Schmid is still in search of his first victory on the PGA Tour, but we believe the youngster has the pedigree to be a player to watch out for this week and in the future.

Beau Hossler (+75000 at Caesars Sportsbook)

American Beau Hossler returns to the site of his tie for 15th performance last year as he too looks to breakthrough with his first win on the PGA Tour. In his last six events, Hossler has posted a tie for 12th, a tie for 11th and he also registered a playoff loss at the Sanderson Farms Championship at the beginning of October. Sitting 78th in the official world golf rankings, Hossler is hoping this is his week to win for the first time. While many others in the field are making their debut at the El Cardonal golf course, Hossler has the experience from last year where he posted rounds of 65, 66 and 67.

Doug Ghim (+6000 at Caesars Sportsbook)

Rounding out the list of the top golfers for the World Wide Technology Championship is another American in 28-year-old Doug Ghim. Sitting 90th in the official world golf rankings, Ghim has made the cut in seven straight events including a second-place finish at the Shriners Children’s Open two tournaments ago. Ghim will look to take the next step this week as he returns to the site of his tie for 15th last year. Rounds of 65, 67 and 68 put Ghim in a position to win but unfortunately his Saturday round of 70 took him out of contention.

World Wide Technology Championship longshot

Nate Lashley (+2200 at FanDuel sportsbook)

Following a tie for 10th place here last year, Nate Lashley arrives in Mexico this week as a serious longshot contender. The 43-year-old is coming off a tie for 16th at the ZOZO Championship last week where he followed up a Saturday round of 63 with a Sunday round of 71. Now looking to string four consecutive rounds together, Lashley is looking to record his second career victory on the PGA Tour, with his first coming at the 2019 Rocket Mortgage Classic.

World Wide Technology Championship betting trends

While 2024 marks the 18th edition of this tournament, it’s just the second time the event will be played at the El Cardonal golf course in Los Cabos, Mexico. Last year, Erik van Rooyen destroyed the course by shooting 27 under par, while the two golfers that tied for second shot 25 under par. A good trend to keep an eye on is whether that record will be broken this season, and we think it will be based on the way the course yielded so many low rounds last year.

World Wide Technology Championship debutants

Joe Highsmith (+2500 at FanDuel sportsbook)

Making his World Wide Technology Championship debut, American Joe Highsmith is looking to keep the good times rolling during the FedExCup Fall season as he searches for his 2025 PGA Tour card. Sitting 126th in the Fall standings, Highsmith will need to jump into the top 125 for the beginning of next season. Highsmith started the year as the youngest rookie on the tour but has quickly established himself as someone to keep a close watch on. Highsmith is on a run that has seen him make all four cuts during the Fall series with an impressive tie for sixth at the Black Desert Championship to go with three top 20 performances.

How to bet on the World Wide Technology Championship

There are several ways to bet on the World Wide Technology Championship this week. One bet that stands out, however, is that these three veterans all finish inside the top 20 this week. If Matt Kuchar, Erik van Rooyen and Daniel Berger can all finish in the top 20 this week at odds of +1532 it would take your $10 bet and turn it into $153.20.

World Wide Technology Championship odds FAQs

What other names have the World Wide Technology Championship gone by?

During the 2007 PGA Tour season the World Wide Technology Championship made its debut on the schedule, but it was known as the Mayakoba Championship. That tournament name lasted until the 2013 season when the tournament became known as the OHL Classic at Mayakoba. In 2018 it became known as the Mayakoba Golf Classic before changing its name to its current tournament title as the World Wide Technology Championship in 2021.

Who has won the most World Wide Technology Championship titles?

Over the tournament’s 17-year history there has only been one two-time champion. This happened during the 2020 and 2021 seasons when Viktor Hovland went back-to-back. Both of Hovland’s wins came when the event was played at Riviera Maya. A neat stat about Hovland’s victories is that in 2020 when he won the tournament was known as the Mayakoba Golf Classic and then next year in 2021 when he won it was known as the World Wide Technology Championship.

Who won the first World Wide Technology Championship?

Originally known as the Mayakoba Golf Classic, Fred Funk won the first event back in 2007. Funk won that year in a playoff over Jose Coceres for his eighth and final career win on the PGA Tour. When the tournament changed its name to the World Wide Technology Championship in 2021, Viktor Hovland went on to win and was crowned the first champion under the new title sponsor.

What is the record score at the World Wide Technology Championship?

The record score at the World Wide Technology Championship was set last year when Erik van Rooyen shot a blistering 27 under par. The total amount of shots to win the tournament has been set three times with the score of 261 set in 2021, 2022 and 2023. The reason van Rooyen’s score of 27 under is different from the other scores to par is that the event was played at the Riviera Maya up until last season when the tournament moved to El Cardonal in Los Cabos, Mexico.
