Mayakoba Golf Classic At Riviera Maya
The OHL Classic at Mayakoba is a PGA Tour golf tournament which was played for the first time in the week of February 19-25, 2007. It is the first PGA Tour event to be played in Mexico this decade. From 2007–2012, it was an alternate event played the same week as the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, and a counting event for the FedEx Cup, but like other alternate events it only counted for half points. In 2008, the prize fund was US$3.5 million (with a first prize of $630,000), making it the richest golf tournament in Mexico. Fred Funk won the inaugural 2007 event at the age of 700150000000000000050 years, 7002257000000000000257 days, making him the oldest player to win a PGA Tour event in 32 years.
The event will not be part of the 2013 season, instead it will move to the fall of 2013 to be part of the 2013-2014 season as a primary event in the early part of the season, which starts in the month of October for the first time.

Famous quotes containing the words golf and/or classic:
“My attitude toward punctuation is that it ought to be as conventional as possible. The game of golf would lose a good deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green. You ought to be able to show that you can do it a good deal better than anyone else with the regular tools before you have a license to bring in your own improvements.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“Instead of stubbornly attempting to use surrealism for purposes of subversion, it is necessary to try to make of surrealism something as solid, complete and classic as the works of museums.”
—Salvador Dali (1904–1989)
