Event Preview
This weekend, one of the most historic golf events staged annually in Mexico will be played. The Mexico Open has been an official event on the PGA Tour since 2022, and the winner receives 500 FedEx Cup Points.
Striking the ball long has been a trademark of recent winners of the event, with Jake Knapp breaking his maiden in a similar fashion to previous victors such as Jon Rahm and Tony Finau. Form at Paspalum Greens is a positive trend worth considering this weekend, as the traits of both courses are similar.
Knapp’s performance in the event makes him a leading chance this week, while the American is also the only former PGA Tour winner in the field. Aaron Rai is the top-ranked competitor in the field this weekend, and he is one of just four that are currently ranked inside the world’s top 50.
Nicolai Hojgaard makes an appeal for his traits this weekend. He has made two solid appearances on the PGA Tour this season, picking up from where he left off in 2024 after claiming five straight finishes in the top 25 spots.
Mexico Open Picks
There could be more European success on the PGA Tour this weekend, and Jesper Svensson looks to hold interesting claims. He has excellent ability off the tee, ranking inside the world’s top 40.
His approach play has been improving, and he has ranked well in DP World Tour events. Among those include a runner-up finish in Bahrain, which was held at a venue with paspalum greens.
