Mexico Open Odds: Bhatia Looks To Make It 3 Straight Years With A Win

Following a dramatic finish as The Genesis Invitational in San Diego, California, the PGA Tour heads to Mexico this week and we want to take a close look at the Mexico Open odds for the upcoming event at VidantaWorld.

A year ago, rookie Jake Knapp won for the first time on tour and while he is in the field defending his title it’s Akshay Bhatia who enters as the tournament favorite.

It wouldn’t come as a surprise to see another longshot emerge victorious in Mexico so you will need to pay close attention to the Mexico Open sleeper picks.

With the Mexico Open projected cut line in play after two rounds, players will have Thursday and Friday to get in the top 65, plus ties, to be able to make it to the weekend and collect a pay cheque.

Mexico Open Odds at VidantaWorld

Akshay Bhatia Mexico Open odds: +1500 with bet365

23-year-old American Akshay Bhatia enters the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld as the favorite as he searches for a third victory on the PGA Tour.

Sitting 30th in the official world golf rankings, Bhatia will be making his second start at the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld where he finished solo fourth place in 2023.

Bhatia is coming off his best result of the season when he ended tied for ninth at The Genesis Invitational, posting his first top 10 of the season.

Now the favorite this week, expectations are high for Bhatia as he has registered three top 10 finishes in his last six events. Bhatia has made nine straight cuts ahead of this week and the lefty should be in fine form this week as he looks to make it three straight years on the PGA Tour with a victory.

Rasmus Hojgaard Mexico Open odds: +1900 with bet365

Danish up and coming star Rasmus Hojgaard arrives in Mexico having played some excellent golf to start the 2025 season.

With five international wins under his belt, the 23-year-old now searches for his first win on the PGA Tour.

Having recorded a tie for 22nd and a tie for 12th to go with a missed cut in three events this year, the 43rd ranked player in the official world golf rankings will look to build off his recent success as he makes his 26th career start on tour.

While he has never had such low odds in a PGA Tour event, expect the youngster to not be overwhelmed by the moment as he looks to breakthrough with his first ever win on the game’s biggest stage.

Samuel Stevens Mexico Open odds: +2400 with bet365

With a solo second place finish at the Farmers Insurance Open earlier in the season, expectations were high as Samuel Stevens returned to Torrey Pines last week but finished in a disappointing tie for 31st.

Stevens has made the cut in all six events he has teed it up in this year and 13 straight events dating back to last year.

While he continues to search for his first career win on the PGA Tour, the 28-year-old will be teeing it up for the 74th time in his career and has eight top 10 finishes during that time to rest his hat on.

While he may not jump off the page for you this week his early hot start to the season has him sitting 16th in the FedExCup standings and he is in prime shape to qualify for signature events and majors that are coming up if he can maintain his current form.

Kurt Kitayama Mexico Open odds: +2400 at bet365

With one career victory at the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational, 32-year-old American Kurt Kitayama returns for his second chance at the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld.

Having finished one shot back of a playoff berth in 2022, Kitayama returns to Mexico for some unfinished business.

It’s been a slow start to the 2025 season for the 85th player in the official world golf rankings as he hasn’t posted a result better than a tie for 37th in his opening event at the Sony Open in Hawaii.

Patrick Rodgers Mexico Open odds: +2400 with bet365

The 54-hole leader at Torrey Pines for The Genesis Invitational last week, Patrick Rodgers is back in action again this week as he tees it up at course he has had impressive success at in three previous attempts.

Still in search of his first PGA Tour win in what will be his 288th career start, Rodgers has scored 13 under par in his previous three tries at the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld, having finished solo 10th, tied for 10th and then tied for sixth last season.

Eventually finishing in a tie for third last week, Rodgers should feel right at home this week as he looks to carry his momentum from last weeks performance into a win this week at a course he must be licking his chops at attacking.

Mexico Open sleeper

Carson Young Mexico Open odds: +7500 with FanDuel

Another player still in search of their first PGA Tour victory but that has had past success in Mexico is another American in Carson Young.

While he hasn’t gotten off to a good start to the 2025 season, the 30-year-old has fond memories of playing in the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld. In two previous appearances, Young finished tied for 15th in 2023 and then followed it up with a tie for eighth last year.

Looking to go even better this year, at such long odds, Young could be one to surprise this week and his past performances here make him a player worth keeping an eye on this week.
