The PGA Tour heads south of the border for the Mexico Open at Vidanta, and there’s an assortment of bets to consider at the top online sportsbooks.

We went through each market and compiled the top five 2023 Mexico Open props bets, as well as the best promotional offers for those looking to lay down some cash, totaling up to $4,100 in bonuses.

At last year’s inaugural Mexico Open, Jon Rahm finished -17 and won the tournament by a single stroke. He’s heavily favored to do so again this year at +260.

Besides last year’s success at Vidanta Vallarta, there are a handful of reasons to back Rahm again. First, his game suits the course very well. Vidanta is just over 7,400 yards and features friendly fairways for long shooters like Rahm.

It’s also important to note Puerto Vallarta gets strong wind gusts off the Pacific ocean, so players that can adapt to those elements have a natural advantage. Another check mark for the Masters champion.

Rahm is also on a hot streak right now. He’s first in FedEx Cup points and has already won four events in 2023.

Tony Finau finished just one stroke behind Rahm at this event last year, shooting a -16. This was thanks to the fact that his game is generally similar to Rahms.

Finau is also a big hitter, and has a proven record of strong performances at windy coastal resort courses.

The talent gap between Finau and Rahm at the Mexico Open is quite large. So if it truly does come down to those two players, taking Finau at +190 in a H2H offers great value.

It’s true that Finau hasn’t played his best golf recently. In his last three events, he finished T17, T26 and T31. In the three tournaments leading up to the 2022 Mexico Open, Finau finished T35, T29 and T35 - yet he still placed T2 in Puerto Vallarta.

A year ago in Puerto Vallarta, Patrick Rodgers went -13 and placed 10th. So he’s already shown he can be successful in this event.

He’s also been on a roll lately. He finished fifth at the Valero Texas Open, then was T19 at the RBC Heritage. Keep in mind that Rodgers was facing far stiffer competition at the RBC, which is a designated event.

Like Finau, the weather conditions associated with coastal resort courses have proven to be no issue for Rodgers. Look for that to continue at the Mexico Open.

Look no further than Brandon Wu to finish top 20 at +220 if you’re searching for a bet offering a nice return. If you’re not familiar with Wu, don’t worry - he’s an up and comer on the PGA TOUR.

The 26-year-old has played in just 56 events, making the cut 31 times. Wu is still searching for a first-place finish, but has two runner ups and a third-place finish under his belt.

One of those runner ups came in last year’s Mexico Open when Wu and two other golfers finished a stroke behind Rahm. So Wu has already proven he can succeed at Vidanta Vallarta.

Another reason to not let Wu’s inexperience scare you is the lack of big names participating in the event. Rahm and Finau are the only two golfers in the OWGR top 50.

Speaking of Finau, his score of 63 in the final round of last year’s Mexico Open was tied for the lowest score in the tournament. The other golfer tied with Finau was Wu, who also had a stellar Sunday in Puerto Vallarta.

One interesting Mexico Open betting market at DraftKings is under ‘nationality props’. It allows you to group together all the golfers from specific countries and wager on who will come out on top.

By taking Gary Woodland to win the American group, you eliminate the heavy favorite in Rahm. But Woodland will still have to defeat Finau.

The 38-year-old ranks top 10 in driving distance, and has always been able to gain plenty of yardage with his irons.

Plus, the Paspalum putting surface at Vidanta Vallarta is rather forgiving, which will even out the playing field on the greens. Putting has been Woodland’s achilles heel so the Paspalum will certainly help out.

Woodland finished T24 with a -9 at the 2022 Mexico Open, So he’s proven the course fits his style of play.
