The first round of the 2023 Mexico Open will commence on Thursday, April 27, at Vidanta Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta. Unlike the PGA TOUR’s high-profile events, this tournament has an entire field and a more relaxed atmosphere. Only three top-20 PGA-ranked golfers will participate, including the 2022 Mexico Open champion Jon Rahm, Tony Finau, runner-up, and Wyndham Clark.

As the Mexico Open enters only its second year, Jon Rahm, the world’s top-ranked golfer, and current Masters champion, aims to defend his championship title. When he arrived at this tournament last season, Rahm was going through a period of average performances. However, the open layout of the course and the field enabled him to take his game to the next level and return to winning ways.

GOLF:

In his pursuit of an eighth victory within a year, he will have to face a group of players who gave him trouble during the previous season, led by Tony Finau, who nearly caught Rahm last year but ultimately came up one stroke short. Alex Noren is one of the few players within the top 50 in the world rankings, while golfers such as Wyndham Clark, Beau Hossler, Patrick Rodgers, Nicolai Hojgaard, and Maverick McNealy are all striving to achieve their first PGA Tour victories.
