The PGA TOUR added a second event in Mexico to its schedule with January's announcement of the Mexico Open at Vidanta.
Vidanta Vallarta will host the event for the next three years.
World No. 3 Jon Rahm headlines the field, with plenty of home-country talent trying to lift a trophy on Mexican soil.
FIELD NOTES: Rahm tees it up for the first time since the Masters. He’s the highest-ranked player in the field … Abraham Ancer leads the Mexican contingent at Vidanta Vallarta alongside fellow TOUR winner Carlos Ortiz and Korn Ferry Tour winner Roberto Diaz … Major champs Gary Woodland, Graeme McDowell and Patrick Reed are set to tee it up … Multi-time TOUR winners Tony Finau, Daniel Berger, Cameron Champ and Kevin Na are in the field … Several 2020-21 Korn Ferry Tour graduates are teeing it up and looking to lock up PGA TOUR status for next season with a solid effort this week … The Monday qualifier already occurred. Patrick Flavin, Jeffrey Kang, Turk Pettit and Bryson Nimmer earned their way into the field. Flavin and Pettit advanced via a 6-for-2 playoff.
FEDEXCUP: Winner receives 500 FedExCup points.
COURSE: Vidanta Vallarta, par 71, 7,456 yards. This Greg Norman design opened in 2015. There are large landing areas off the tee, while the greens are protected by cavernous bunkers. The course meanders along the Ameca River, with views of the Sierra Madres offered on every hole.

STORYLINES: The Mexico Open is considered the country’s national golf championship and was first contested in 1944. It boasts winners like Lee Trevino, Billy Casper, Roberto De Vicenzo, Ben Crenshaw and Stewart Cink … Four native Mexican golfers have won on the PGA TOUR. Abraham Ancer was the most recent – he captured the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational in 2021 … This will be the second event in Mexico on the 2021-22 PGA TOUR schedule, as Viktor Hovland won the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba in November … 250 yards were added to the golf course from its original design in preparation for the arrival of the PGA TOUR, along with 51 new bunkers (for a total of 106).
72-HOLE RECORD: N/A
18-HOLE RECORD: N/A
LAST TIME: This is the first Mexico Open on the PGA TOUR calendar. Patrick Reed won the former World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship in 2020, the last time it was contested in Mexico City, while Alvaro Ortiz (brother of Carlos) won the 2021 Abierto Mexicano de Golf.

Perusing the field for this event starting giving me a strange vibe: there's one obvious choice, but I feel like there's gonna be some relative unknowns showing out this week. So, I'll take the obvious, and throw in a couple of names that twit TGW probably has never heard of.

Hey bud, just another reminder, Berger is a WD

😂😂 elderly ? I would have used a sand wedge. Sand wedges in my hands are truly blades. Or is that bladed ? 🤔

Oh and Patrick Reed . 🤢

 

[NoleinATL]

Scottie seems to be enjoying himself. Good for him

 

[NoleLizards]

... but I feel like there's gonna be some relative unknowns showing out this week.

How about a 40-something by the name of Jonathan Byrd, a guy who hasn't won in eleven years?? He's already 7 under today.

Rahm takes the lead, he was a heavy favorite to win for a reason. Went off at some books as low as +300 to win outright. Crazy

If he wins, will I be able to put down some money on him then?

NiA and Liz - the NFL Draft is less than 30 minutes away. What happened to y'all's mock for this year? I know, it's not the-greatest-game-ever related, but still. How can I watch tonight (and Friday & Saturday) without your cheat sheets? Or was the one last year a one time thing?

Used to love doing it, but it got to the point where no one was interested in participating.

I loved doing the PGSF draft, I learned so much about random players..
Glad we got the Covid year in, not enough people that want to join to do it anymore. At its peak I think there were 25 or so people picking and that was fun

 

[NoleinATL]

Popular pick Ancer needs to get hot on his back nine ( started 10) , currently even and cut line is -2 with most of the leaders still waiting to tee off today

He needs to borrow some of Emiliano Grillo's mojo 😉

Golf is a great game, this will put a smile on your face
