The Mexico Open at Vidanata was added to the PGA Tour schedule in January, and Vidanta Vallarta will play host for the next three years.
After a run of great golf and strong fields, this week lacks in the latter. Jon Rahm, who will be making his first start since the Masters, enters as the betting favorite at +450 and is the only player inside the top 10 of the Official World Golf Ranking.
The highest ranked player behind the Spaniard is Abraham Ancer, No. 20 in the world, who hopes to win in his home country.
There should be some nice value to take advantage of this week, so let’s get into it.
Golf course
Vidanta Vallarta | Par 71 | 7,456 yards
Key statistics
Driving distance: The landing areas off the tee around this track are quite generous, and with the lack of rough, the field should be able to fire away with the big stick.
Strokes Gained: Approach: At a new course, might as well bank on the guys striking it well right now.
