The PGA Tour’s West Coast Swing concluded Sunday at the Genesis Invitational and in two weeks, the Florida Swing will begin.
In between is a trip to Mexico—for some players.
The Mexico Open at VidantaWorld, being in one of the tougher “sandwich” spots on the schedule, will have just four of the top 40 players in the Official World Golf Ranking (prior to the final round of the Genesis).
Maverick McNealy (No. 26), Aaron Rai (27), Akshay Bhatia (31) and Rasmus Hojgaard (39) are those top 40 players and sure to the be top betting picks, along with defending champion Jake Knapp. Then the field has plenty of PGA Tour rank-and-file players looking to improve their outlook for the rest of 2025.
There are still 500 FedEx Cup points on the line and a $1,260,000 first-place check, from a purse of $7 million. And playing well can mean a spot in the next signature event, the Arnold Palmer Invitational in three weeks at Bay Hill.
The 132-player field will compete on the par-71, 7,436-yard VidantaWorld course, designed by Greg Norman. In its three years as a PGA Tour stop, the winning scores are 19 under, 24 under and 17 under—so expect plenty of birdies.
