After Ludvig Aberg’s stunning performance at the Genesis Invitational last week, the next stop on the PGA Tour circuit is Mexico.

Here is everything you need to know about the Mexico Open 2025 so that you can follow the action.
Everything you need to know about the Mexico Open 2025
Mexico Open 2025 dates
The Mexico Open begins on Thursday, February 19, 2025, and the final round is on Sunday, February 22, 2025. It’s the only PGA Tour event this week.
Where is the Mexico Open?
The first edition of the Mexico Open was played at the Club de Golf Chapultepec in 1944. 81 years later, it now takes place at Vidanta Vallarta, where you can expect some low scores.
Vidanta Vallarta
- Location: Vallarta, Mexico
- Established: 2016
- Designer: Greg Norman
- Par: 71
- Length: 7,436 yards
Which players are in the Mexico Open field?
The Mexico Open field is not ideal. Almost every top player is taking time off after the Genesis Invitational and with the Arnold Palmer Invitational in two weeks.
World number 31 Akshay Bhatia is probably the most high-profile name in the mix. European Ryder Cup hopefuls Aaron Rai and Rasmus Hojgaard are two of the favourites.
Mexico Open TV coverage (US)
Golf Channel and NBC will provide live TV coverage of the Mexico Open throughout the week to fans in the United States.
| Day | Channel (Eastern Time) |
| Thursday | Golf Channel (4 – 7 p.m.) |
| Friday | Golf Channel (4 – 7 p.m.) |
| Saturday | Golf Channel (1 – 3 p.m.), NBC (3 – 6 p.m.) |
| Sunday | Golf Channel (1 – 3 p.m.), NBC (3 – 6 p.m.) |
There are also two live-streaming options for the tournament: NBC Sports App and Peacock.
What is the Mexico Open prize money?
The prize money at the Mexico Open this week is $7 million. That’s $1.1m less than the 2024 event and $13m less than last week’s Genesis Invitational.
The event will allocate 18% of the payout to the winner ($1.26m). The runner-up will receive $763,000, while $483k will go to the third place.
Mexico Open predictions
The Golfing Gazette writers predict which player will lift the huge Mexico Open trophy on Sunday:
Peter Lynch: Currently third in the European Ryder Cup rankings, Rasmus Hojgaard will be eager to follow the likes of Ludvig Aberg and Rory McIlroy in winning early on the PGA Tour, and I think he has a great chance of doing that in Mexico, in what is a much-weakened field compared to the Genesis Invitational.
Jordan Harris: Harry Hall has played in this event in the last two years and has a top 10. He also opened the year with two top 10s on the PGA Tour. Given the weaker field, he is someone who will have his eyes on the prize this week.
James Shearman: Michael Kim’s only win on the PGA Tour was the 2018 John Deere Classic so this may seem an unlikely pick. However, the 31-year-old finished second at the 2025 Phoenix Open and 11th at last week’s Genesis Invitational so he’s in fine form. He would certainly be a popular winner due to his significant social media following.
