How to watch the World Tech Championship on Thursday
When he stormed to victory in last year’s event at the El Cardonal course designed by Tiger Woods, Ben Griffin he was on top of the world.
He won two other times earlier in the season, announcing himself as a player to be reckoned with in the process.
A year later, it’s a very different story for Griffin. So far he has failed to add a fourth win to his resume in the 2026 season, falling to 41st in 2026. FedEx Cup standings.
But it hasn’t been all bad news for Griffin. He has collected five top-10 finishes this season. Perhaps more importantly, Griffin got off to a great start at last week’s VidantaWorld Mexico Open, where he finished T4.
Now he will try to leverage that positive momentum into a comeback win. And the action begins Thursday morning.
