The PGA Tour heads abroad this week with the Mexico Open featuring just a fair field with youngster Akshay Bhatia the clear favourite.
Best Bet
Hugely underappreciated talent who has an API in his trophy cabinet. Just missed the chocolates at his only start here. Ranks 7th in Par 5 Scoring and 11th in Driving Distance and that is the kind of profile most likely to win here.
Mid-Tier Bet
Ranks 2nd on Tour in Proximity and has form on the correlation courses, finishing 4th in the Corrales and 25th in the Texas Open in 2024. Putts best on paspalum and gets that here. Three Top 5 finishes in his last seven starts.
Value Bet
Tour veteran who has won four times on the PGA Tour since 2007. Been nearly a decade between drinks but this is a great opportunity for the 48yo. Form is good with a T-5 in The American Express and a T-25 in the Farmers Insurance. Ranks 13th in Par 5 Scoring. Great form at TPC San Antonio an TPC Scottsdale.
Longshot Bet
Solid veteran whose form on the correlation courses puts him in good stead. Finished Top 10 in the last two Valero Texas Opens along with an eighth in the 2023 Corrales. Ranks 2nd this season in Par 5 Scoring.
