Beginning its 19th season on May 13, Golf Channel’s Big
Break is set to take place in Mexico
this year. The reality competition will take place in Riviera Maya at the Playa
Paraiso Golf Club and nearby Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraiso.
Big Break Mexico, which was produced in partnership with
the Mexico Tourism Board, will highlight the breathtaking aspects of the par-72
golf course rising out of the Mayan jungle. Such features include narrow
fairways, deep bunkers, and hazards characteristic of the local surroundings.
The most popular of The Golf Channel’s original series, Big
Break stars amateur, albeit talented, six men and six women golfers pitted
against each other in mixed teams. Whoever wins after several challenges
testing their mental and physical prowess will be offered an opportunity to
play alongside the greats in an actual LPGA or PGA tournament.
Throughout the show’s history, several golfers have been had
the good fortune to break into the world’s top tours after appearing. This
season is no different as the female champion will play in the 2013 Lorena
Ochoa Invitational, while the male champion will play in the 2013 OHL Classic
at Mayakoba.
Certainly, if all goes according to plan, this season will be
a hole in one for both Mexican tourism as well as the players themselves.
