The PGA Tour heads to Mexico for the Mexico Open at Vidanta, the second time this tournament has been part of the schedule. Last year, Jon Rahm lifted the trophy and it's now quite funny to think that this was his lone victory of 2022. He's already won four times in the 2023 season, including the Masters just a few weeks ago, and now sits at No.1 in the world.
The field is a lot weaker than we've seen in tournaments of late, with only one other player inside the OWGR top-50 teeing it up – Tony Finau. Finau finished runner-up behind Rahm here last year and will also be strong favorite to win this week.
Last year, in the inaugural Mexico Open at this course, it became clear pretty quickly that Vidanta Vallarta is a bomber's paradise, and the longest hitters on Tour were the ones who were contending over the four days – Rahm, Finau, Cameron Champ and Kurt Kitayama.
It will come as no surprise to learn that Rahm is the overwhelming favorite this week at +290. Those are the smallest odds I think I've ever seen at a golf tournament! For that reason, I'm not going to take him as one of my outright picks; I don't need to detail all the reasons why the Spaniard could win this thing. Tony Finau follows him at +850.
