LA ROMANA, Dominican Republic — The Latin America Amateur Championship will head to Mexico for the first time in 2020.
The sixth edition of the LAAC will be held at Mayakoba's El Camaleon Golf Club on Riviera Maya from January 16-19.
Seated alongside Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley and USGA CEO Mike Davis, R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers made the announcement at a news conference Thursday at Casa de Campo, site of this week's Latin Am.
With Mexico now being awarded its first LAAC, the event will have been hosted at least one time in all four regions in which the Masters Tournament, the R&A and the USGA are hoping to grow the game: South America, Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean.
