2022 Mexico Open Betting Preview
The PGA Tour returns to stroke play action south of the border for the fully-sanctioned Mexico Open. Located a few miles off the Pacific coast near the town of Puerto Vallarta, the Vidanta Vallarta Resort (one of the highest-rated hotels in Mexico) and its “Signature Course” designed by Greg Norman, will host this event for the next three years.
Dating back to 1944, the Mexico Open has quite a historic past and has been considered Mexico’s National Championship. With the PGA Tour pulling out of certain World Golf Championship (WGC) events such as the one at Club de Golf Chapultepec in Naucalpan, Mexico, this tournament will be an official FedExCup event with a purse of $7.3 million and 500 points to the winner.
Overall, the strength of this field is quite weak. With it being an international event, along with an unknown course, and a long plane ride to next week’s esteemed Wells Fargo Championship, it is easy to see why few top-ranked players would choose to make the trip. Headlining the 144-player field is the world’s third-ranked player, Jon Rahm. Other golfers ranked in the top 50 scheduled to attend include Daniel Berger, Tony Finau, Kevin Na, Abraham Ancer, Patrick Reed, Gary Woodland, and Cameron Tringale.
Two Mexican natives to keep an eye on this week are Ancer and Carlos Ortiz. Along with past successes in their native land, they should be very motivated to play in front of their home fans this week. Ortiz has three top-16 finishes on Mexican soil, while Ancer has three top-18 finishes.
