This week's tournament will be hosted by Western New Mexico at Tulum C.C. at PGA Riviera Maya, one of the top courses in Mexico. The course played host to the Tulum Championship on the Korn Ferry Tour in May and was named the best golf course in Mexico at the 2024 World Golf Awards.

The Patriots will face off against a 15 team field, with 14 of those 15 being either in the South Central or West Region, providing an early opportunity to see where the Patriots stack up.
