The 2026 WWT Championship Winner Is...

Hi, I'm Hallie Ledbetter and welcome to the final round of the Worldwide Technology Championship. The stage is set for a thrilling Sunday, but who do we think is going to join this list of WWT Championship winners? Who do you think is going to win today? The Kid! Who do you mean? Who's the kid? James. Ben James? Yeah. I think Keith Mitchell. Alvaro Ortiz. He's making a good job. I think Ryan Gerrard's going to win. He's on a heater lately. He's due. It's his week. Alvaro Ortiz, for sure. Certainly. I think he's going to win Alvaro Ortiz. We're rooting for the Mexican in our soil, so... Vamos! Let's go! I think it's going to be Blades Brown. You know, he's been sniffing around a bunch of top 10s. Today's his day he's going to break through. Ah, Ben James. He's been solid all day. For sure, I think Ben James. Ben James. Why Ben James? Consistent all week. I think he's going to fight and get it done. I would guess McCarthy. I'm going Gerrard. I think it's all about the new guys. Well, the fans have spoken. Let's see how it all unfolds. After a dramatic Sunday in Los Cabos, it was 19-year-old sensation Blades Brown who emerged victorious. In what was a battle between two of golf's brightest young stars, Brown defeated fellow rookie Ben James in a playoff to become the youngest PGA Tour winner in almost 100 years. To our 2026 champion, Blaze Brown, everybody. This is grape juice, by the way. Blaze, you're the youngest PGA TOUR winner since 1931. What did you prove to yourself today? Well, I honestly don't feel very different after that putt went in. I mean, it's, I just look back at so many, so many PGA TOUR winners, Jordan Spieth, guys I've looked up to and, and to think I'm now in a similar spot is pretty remarkable. What were you feeling and what was going through your head during that playoff? Oh man, I was nervous. I was really nervous. I just kept saying, man, You know, I can't get my mind focused on the future. I can only control what I can in the present. And yeah, now I'm going to go drink some grape juice. Exactly, they had you drinking some grape juice in there. Well, congratulations. You are the 2026 Worldwide Technology Champion. Awesome. Thank you guys. Mr. Brown, congratulations. I'm sure this is a moment that you have imagined in your head for so long. Is it safe to say that the Worldwide Technology Championship will forever be a special place for the Brown family? Forever. We'll celebrate it through great-grandchildren, and so, yeah, we'll celebrate this forever. Well, that's it from us here at El Cardenal Golf Course for the Worldwide Technology Championship. Congratulations to Blaze Brown on his amazing win. We'll see you next time.
