The PGA Tour returns to Mexico for the fourth edition of the Mexico Open and with a weaker field in play it should be primed for longshots to make their mark on the lengthy course.
The worlds 30th ranked golfer, Akshay Bhatia, headlines the event and is the man to catch in the Mexico Open odds. With rookie Jake Knapp winning last year, this year’s version also seems as wide open as ever and sleeper picks are certainly in play.
With a full field in action this week you will need to pay attention to the Mexico Open projected cut line as the top 65 players, plus ties, will make it through to play on the weekend.

Eric van Rooyen Mexico Open odds: +6000 with FanDuel
South Africa’s Erik van Rooyen is certainly one to watch out for this week as the two-time PGA Tour winner is a rare bread in the event this week with multiple tournament victories under his belt.
The 34-year-old won in 2021 and 2023 and has recorded four top eight finishes since that last win.
Making his third career start in Mexico, van Rooyen opened with a 64 in 2023 before falling to a tie for 33rd, but last year after an opening round 63, von Rooyen was able to stay in the hunt the following three rounds and ended up finishing in a tie for eighth.
With course knowledge and previous wins under his belt, the 88th player in the official world golf rankings is someone who should be worth your consideration this week.

With exactly 100 PGA Tour starts under his belt, Justin Lower appears on the verge of breaking through with his much anticipated first victory.
The 35-year-old recorded back-to-back 66’s in his middle rounds last year shooting him up the leaderboard where he would end in a tie for third place.
Lower has now registered three top five finishes in his last seven events including two in the final three events of last season and he already has a tie for third this year at The American Express. Sitting 84th in the official world golf rankings, now appears the perfect time for Lower to break through and record his first victory on the PGA Tour.
Ryan Fox Mexico Open odds: +7500 with bet365
With an impressive pedigree Ryan Fox should pique your interest this week as he is a veteran presence in an otherwise unproven field.
Fox has four European Tour victories under his belt but is still searching for his first win on the PGA Tour after 58 events. Having teed it up just one time since last October, it’s hard to know exactly what to make of the 38-year-old New Zealander’s game these days.
However, there is no denying that Fox is a cut making machine who’s name certainly stands out in a lighter field in terms of winning experience and if he finds himself in contention on Sunday, as the former number 23 golfer in the official golf world rankings, he will be able to lean on previous knowledge to end up in the winner’s circle.

Jesper Svensson Mexico Open odds: +7500 with bet365
28-year-old Jesper Svensson is an up-and-coming star who already has a win on the European Tour at the Porsche Singapore Classic last March.
Svensson also finished as a runner-up three times last year on his way to being named the rookie of the year on the European Tour. Having teed it up just seven times on the PGA Tour, Svensson may not be a household name at this point in his career, but that is only a matter of time.
The Swedish youngster opened the season with a tie for 10th at the Sony Open in Hawaii and has been chasing another good result since then. While he may be young, Svensson certainly has all the tools to be a world class golfer, and it won’t be long until he is commonplace on weekly golf prediction lists.
Adam Svensson Mexico Open odds: +8500 with bet365
Teeing it up for just the second time in his career at the Mexico Open, Canadian Adam Svensson would rather forget his first appearance as it ended with a missed cut for the 31-year-old.
No relation to Jesper Sevennson, the one-time PGA Tour winner at the 2022 RSM Classic is no stranger to the spotlight or to winning.
Svensson won three events on the Korn Ferry Tour and has lots of experience representing his country and teeing it up in major championships and world golf championship events. His last time out, Svensson was in contention following a 69-66 start but back-to-back 71’s on the weekend saw him finish the WM Phoenix Open in tie for 36th.
With so many players getting longer odds this week, Svensson is a name that stands out considering his past success on the PGA Tour.
