PLAYA DEL CARMEN — PGA TOUR players are starting to make plans for the 2007 season and are including the Mayakoba Golf Classic at Riviera Maya - Cancun as part of their schedule for the February 19-25 tournament at the Mayakoba resort in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

Major championship winners Mark Calcavecchia, Jeff Sluman and Steve Elkington have indicated they plan to participate in Mexico’s first-ever official PGA TOUR event. Past PGA TOUR champions John Cook, J.B. Holmes and Dean Wilson have also added their names as possible competitors in February.

Also, the opportunity to play in a historical event for Mexico has created quite an interest among the TOUR membership.”
