Mexico’s El Camaleon Golf Club has hosted its fair share of big tournaments through the years.

Now, it makes its debut on the LPGA Tour with the inaugural event the Mexico Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba.
It is the second of two new events on the LPGA Tour this season, following the Black Desert Championship at the start of the month, and the circuit's one visit to Mexico this season will see players compete for prize money of $2.5m, the same sum that was on the table at the Blue Bay LPGA.
The winner will receive $375,000, while the runner-up is set for a payday of $235,814, with everyone in the top-five earning a six-figure payout.
As usual, world ranking points are also on offer, while 500 Race to the CME Globe points will be awarded to the winner.
