The 2025 Riviera Maya Open promises to be one of the premier events on the LPGA calendar this season. Being its inaugural event, it’s taking place from May 22 to May 25, 2025. The tournament marks the LPGA Tour’s long-awaited return to Mexico, set against the stunning backdrop of El Camaleón Golf Course at Mayakoba in Playa del Carmen. With a $2.5 million purse and a full 144-player field, the inaugural edition of this championship brings world-class women’s golf back to the Riviera Maya for the first time in nearly a decade. As the only course in the world to host PGA Tour, LIV Golf, and now LPGA Tour events, El Camaleón will challenge the game’s best with its signature tropical design, revamped greens, and the newly installed island green at the par-3 fourth hole. Now, how can you be a witness to this exciting event? Let’s find out!

Fans can follow their favorite players across the scenic layout, take in the tension of every swing, and enjoy the vibrant tournament atmosphere. Numerous food and beverage options will be available for purchase throughout the course, making it a full-day experience for golf lovers and casual fans alike.

For a more complete tournament journey, the Weekly General Admission pass grants access from Thursday through Sunday, covering all competitive rounds.

What to expect: Field, favorites, and firsts

The 2025 Riviera Maya Open promises an exciting blend of international star power and national pride. Leading the charge for the home crowd are Mexico’s top female golfers: Gaby López, a three-time LPGA winner, and María Fassi, the former Augusta National Women’s Amateur champion. Rising amateur Clarisa Temelo and fellow young talents like Isabella Fierro will also look to make their mark.

The international contingent is headlined by Britain’s Charley Hull, one of the LPGA’s most electric players and a two-time major runner-up. She arrives in strong form after several top-five finishes this season and has labeled the Riviera Maya Open a “key event” on tour. With elite competitors expected from the U.S., Korea, and Japan, the tournament field is as diverse as it is talented. Set against the vibrant backdrop of the Mexican Riviera, the redesigned El Camaleón—with its mangrove-lined fairways and the newly unveiled island green at the par-3 4th—offers a fresh and formidable challenge for the world’s best.
