This week’s Mexico Open presents us with both a very clear tier structure and a simple recipe for success at this course. Along the same lines, a top-heavy player pool along with a lack of overall win equity likewise presents us with simple yet important lineup questions to answer. With Jon Rahm clearly on top and Tony Finau being a tier below, do we play at least one of them in every lineup? What about playing them both together? How much Rahm is too much Rahm?…or is too much Rahm even possible? And is it possible to fade those two completely and start lineups in the “mostly winless” tier among players like Wyndham Clark, Patrick Rodgers, or Gary Woodland who hasn’t won since the 2019 U.S. Open?
