2025 Mexico Open betting tips: Our expert’s top picks for Puerto Vallarta

Our resident betting expert picks out his top Mexico Open betting tips ahead of the PGA Tour event.

The PGA Tour heads south of the border following its third Signature event of the season at Torrey Pines to Vidanta Vallarta in Mexico where American Jake Knapp looks to defend his 2024 title.

Mexico’s national open has been running since 1944, returning six homegrown champions in that time, most recently in 2021 with Álvaro Ortiz’s triumph. Without elevated status, the event struggles to attract a huge amount of strength in depth, with many of the tour’s top stars preparing for a busy Floridian swing that starts in a fortnight with the Cognizant Classic, leading into the Arnold Palmer Invitational, before the season’s first acid test – the $25 million Players Championship.

But in the meantime, here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Mexico Open with our resident betting expert Tom Jacob’s top picks…
