Officials of the 2021 World Golf Championships-Workday Championship, scheduled for Feb. 25-28 at The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida, have announced that several of the world’s top-ranked players have committed to play in the season’s first World Golf Championship event.
Workday, Inc., a provider of enterprise applications for finance and human resources, will be the title sponsor of the newly-named Workday Championship. COVID-19 forced the relocation of the tournament formerly known as the Mexico Championship to The Concession. In December, Workday signed a 10-year agreement to become the new presenting sponsor of the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio.
Among the top players from the PGA, Asian, European, Japan Golf and PGA Tour of Australasia tours who will be at The Concession include: world No. 1 and 2020 FedExCup champion Dustin Johnson, No. 2 Jon Rahm, No. 3 and 2017 FedExCup champion Justin Thomas, No. 4 Xander Schauffele, two-time FedExCup champion Rory Mcllroy, 2020 U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, 2020 PGA Championship winner Collin Morikawa and defending champion Patrick Reed.
Players have until Friday at 5 p.m. ET to commit to the field. Those players not currently qualified can still join the field at The Concession by either moving inside the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking, or being among the top 10 in the FedExCup standings as of Monday, Feb. 22.
