Paul Moore, Chairman and CEO of GigNet, Inc., added, “We are happy to be selected by World Wide Technology, the newly named event title sponsor, to be a Corporate Partner. This event showcases the incredible hospitality industry in Playa Del Carmen and Cancun, the importance of high-speed Internet and other technology to manage and broadcast a major international sporting event, and talented young golfers from Mexico that are having a positive impact on the sport. We are also proud to be part of an event that has contributed over US$2.5 million dollars to philanthropic causes benefitting community organizations in Playa Del Carmen and Cancun.”
El Camaleón golf course is known for natural features representative of the Riviera Maya landscape including a cenote, an underground freshwater cavern unique to the region located along the opening fairway, and two oceanfront holes that offer far-reaching views of the Caribbean Sea.
