World Wide Technology Championship, tee times, format, field, purse, how to watch

From Japan to Mexico, the PGA Tour resumes normal service this week with the 2024 World Wide Technology Championship. The event returns to the Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal at Diamante for the second year after the venue debuted on the PGA schedule last Autumn. Following this week's event, just two events will remain on the FedEx Cup Fall calendar.

After a limited field made its way to Japan for the ZOZO Championship a fortnight ago, the World Wide Technology Championship welcomes a 120-man field to El Cardonal at Diamante headlined by defending champion Erik van Rooyen and Cameron Young; the highest OWGR-ranked player in the field. Young, ranked 33rd in the latest Official World Golf Rankings, will tee it up for the first time this fall; his first tournament start since a T43 finish at the BMW Championship in August.

Fresh off of his sensational win at the ZOZO Championship, Nico Echavarria represents one of several players in action at this year's World Wide Technology Championship on the edge of an Aon Next 10 spot in the FedEx Cup Fall standings. The Colombian, who comes into this week at 65th in the standings, will look for a few more good results in the final couple of events as he attempts to secure a valuable spot in two early-season signature events in 2025. Other notables currently on the outside of a top 60 spot looking in heading into the sixth of eight FedEx Cup Fall events include Lucas Glover (63), Beau Hossler (66), Erik van Rooyen (67), and Jhonattan Vegas (69), to name a few.

Limited opportunities remain this fall for those with aspirations of securing spots in signature events and their PGA Tour statuses ahead of the 2025 season. All of it means there is much at stake for the 120-man field this week at Tiger Woods' El Cardonal at Diamante. Let's dive into all of the information to know ahead of this year's World Wide Technology Championship including this week's tee times and WWT Championship field, the tournament format, this year's prize purse at El Cardonal, and how to watch the action this week from Mexico.

World Wide Technology Championship tee times, field

Here is a look at the tee times and groupings for the first and second rounds at the 2024 WWT Championship.

2023 WWT Championship winner Erik van Rooyen will begin his title defense alongside Nico Echavarria and Jhonattan Vegas at 7:03 a.m. local time/9:03 a.m. ET on Thursday. Max Greyserman, fresh off a third runner-up finish in his last five starts will look to finally breakthrough on the PGA Tour this week and begins his charge at 7:14 a.m. local time/9:14 a.m. ET on Thursday alongside Lucas Glover and Patton Kizzire. Meanwhile, Cameron Young is set to get his tournament underway alongside Harry Hall, and Austin Eckroat, winner at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches earlier this year, at 11:38 a.m. local/1:38 p.m. ET.

Here is a look at the entire 120-man field for this year's World Wide Technology Championship.

Since the initial field release both Greyson Sigg and J.B. Holmes have withdrawn from the event and been replaced by S.Y. Noh and Austin Cook, respectively. Additionally, Dylan Brack, Zach Bauchou, Ryan Gerard, and William Moll, have all been added to the field after Monday Qualifying.

World Wide Technology Championship format, purse, prize money

As previously mentioned, the 2024 World Wide Technology Championship will welcome a 120-man field this week to El Cardonal at Diamante. Following a one-event hiatus, normal PGA Tour cut rules will be implemented at the WWT Championship with the Top 65 players and ties after 36 holes advancing through to the weekend.

The purse for the 2024 WWT Championship is set at $7.2 million with this year's champion in Mexico set to take home a winner's share of $1.296 million. This figure is a slight decrease from the $8.2 million in prize money that has been divvied out to the fields at the WWT Championship over the last two years. Unlike the ZOZO Championship two weeks ago, the WWT Championship marks the fourth of five FedEx Cup Fall events to feature a reduced prize purse this Autumn.
