2022 Mexico Open Betting Card Preview

This year’s Mexico Open introduces us to a Greg Norman “Signature Course” on the coast near Puerto Vallarta at the Vidanta Vallarta Resort. A new course brings plenty of variables into play, and I tend to take a conservative approach to the week in these instances. We also have a remarkably weak field teeing it up, though Jon Rahm has decided to make the trek down to Mexico this week and is a massive favorite to find the winner’s circle for the first time since his U.S. Open win last summer.

Per Ron Klos and his course preview, Vidanta Vallarta is a par-71 course that measures 7,456 yards. It ranks as the 7th longest course on Tour. It is a unique track with five par-3s to go with four par-5s and only nine par-4s. While the par-3s are average in length, five of the par-4s are over 475 yards, and three of the par-5s are over 585 yards. With minimal rough, wide-open fairways, and sticky Paspulum grass lining the course, I’m building a card around bombers this week. With such little information to go off of, I believe picking a player archetype and going with it is the best approach to the week.

In this space, I want to touch on the players I’m targeting this week and share my opinion on the best way to bet them at this event.
