Erik van Rooyen won in Los Cabos last November. He’s trying to win again in Mexico this week. After the first round, he held a one-shot lead.
The leaderboard may not be stocked with big names, but there are plenty of storylines to follow.
Tony Finau, the defending champion, is the highest-ranked golfer in the field. He’s in the afternoon wave Friday. Meanwhile, sponsor exemption MJ Daffue opened with a 65 and started the second round two shots off the lead.
Vidanta Vallarta is a par-71 Greg Norman design measuring 7,456 yards. The purse at the Mexico Open is $8.1 million with $1.458 million going to the winner. The winner will also receive 500 FedEx Cup points.
This week’s live, four-feed coverage of PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will include a Spanish-language channel. Commentary for that will include host Marco Farias with Carlos de Corral and Sara Diaz as analysts, and John Sutcliffe reporting on the course.
The Mexico Open dates back to 1944 and is considered the country’s national championship.
