Imagine the pressure: a chance to etch your name in golfing history. That's the reality facing the players at the 2025 World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico this weekend! The third round promises to be a nail-biter, with unbelievably low scores already shaking up the leaderboard. But here's where it gets controversial... will the pressure cooker of a Saturday round cause some of these rising stars to crack?
Let's dive into the tee times for Saturday's Round 3 at El Cardonal at Diamante, a stunning course that's proving to be a birdie-fest. Making the cut required a 36-hole score of five-under par – that gives you an idea of the level of play we're seeing! You'll find the complete list of tee times at the end of this article, so scroll down and plan your viewing schedule.
The spotlight is firmly on Matti Schmid, the 27-year-old German sensation who's currently leading the pack at a remarkable 17-under par after scorching rounds of 64 and 63. Hot on his heels, just one stroke back, are Nick Dunlap (-16) and Sami Valimaki (-16). Can Schmid maintain his composure and secure his first-ever PGA Tour victory? And this is the part most people miss... the mental game on Saturday is often more crucial than raw talent.
It's worth noting that both Schmid and Valimaki, a 27-year-old from Finland, are hungry for their maiden PGA Tour wins. Dunlap, the young gun at 21, already boasts two Tour victories from 2024, proving he knows how to close a deal. The final group – Schmid, Valimaki, and Dunlap – will tee off together at 12:42 p.m. ET, guaranteeing some serious fireworks.
Coverage of Saturday's third round will be broadcast on Golf Channel from 3-6 p.m. ET. You can also stream a live simulcast of the Golf Channel's coverage on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports App, so you don't have to miss a single shot, no matter where you are.
