The PGA Tour is heading south to Mexico where Jon Rahm will look to defend his title at the 2023 Mexico Open at Vidanta. The reigning Masters champion headlines the field at Vidanta, along with Tony Finau and Wyndham Clark. The 1st round tees off Thursday morning from Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.
Below, we look at the 2023 Mexico Open at Vidanta odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.
After only taking 1 week off for the Zurich Classic, Rahm is back on the course. He has a win and a top-15 in his last 2 starts, giving him 4 wins and 8 top-25s in 11 starts this season. He’s the No. 1 player in the world and he and Finau (No. 16) are the only players in the field ranked in the top 20. Rahm is heavily favored (+240) to win this event for the second straight year.
Vidanta Vallarta is a par 71 and plays at 7,456 yards, so it’s on the longer side. It’s a newer course that opened in 2015 and only began hosting this event in 2022, so it’s not a venue many players have much history on. Long hitters seem to have an edge on this course, partly thanks to the wider fairways.
