The PGA Tour leaves the United States for the first time this year with the Mexican Open set to take place at Vallarta. One interesting storyline is that the purse for the event has actually dropped to $7 million. That is down from $8.2 million in 2023 and $8.1 million in 2024. Here are the three golfers we like in Mexico the most this week.
Stephan Jaeger
The 35-year-old from Munich, Germany has won once on the PGA Tour. That was at the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open where he shot a four round score of -12 and beat five golfers by one stroke. Those at -11 were Americans Tony Finau, Taylor Moore and two-time Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, Belgium’s Thomas Detry and Argentina’s Alejandro Tosti. One reason why we like Jaeger is because he has shot a combined total score of -35 in Mexico over the last three years, including a score of -14 in 2024.

Jake Knapp
The 30-year-old fan of the National Hockey League’s Anaheim Ducks from Costa Mesa, California is the defending champion of the Mexican Open. Last year he won his very first PGA event by posting a winning score of -19. In the process he beat Finland’s Sami Valimaki by two strokes. Ironically, Valimaki comes from the nation of Finland, where one of the greatest Ducks players of all-time is also from. Teemu Selanne is the Ducks all-time leader in goals with 457. With Knapp winning Mexico, he jumped from 101st in the world to 52nd. Knapp has since dropped to 97th.

C.T. Pan
The 33-year-old from Taiwan has one PGA Tour win. That came at the 2019 RBC Heritage where he posted a score of -12 and beat Matt Kuchar by one stroke. Pan’s other claim to fame was winning the bronze medal in a seven-man playoff at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2021. The reason why we like Pan this week is because he finished tied for third last year in Mexico with Jaeger at -14.
