FLW will sign an agreement with Mexico that will result in the organization sanctioning tournaments in that country. The ceremony will take place Aug. 21 as part of the FLW Morning Show at the Forrest Wood Cup at Lake Ouachita in Arkansas.
Mexico will run a series of FLW tournaments that advance anglers who are citizens of the host country to a new international division at the Rayovac FLW Series Championship beginning in 2016. The highest finisher among countries represented in the international division will then advance to the Forrest Wood Cup.
Mexico will become the fourth country to sign on for international sanctioning, joining Canada, South Korea and China.
