Corey Conners
Corey Conners arrives at the 2026 VidantaWorld Mexico Open in encouraging form after finishing tied for third at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. His elite ball-striking gives him a route to contention, although the course may suit longer hitters more naturally. His recent third-place finish is a big plus, and his results over the last few months suggest he can put together four competitive rounds. His iron play of late has been solid, and that should give him birdie opportunities. He will need to find similar form to last week, but if he can putt better, he could be involved.

Where Is the VidantaWorld Mexico Open Played?
The tournament takes place at Vidanta Vallarta, within the VidantaWorld resort destination in Vallarta–Nuevo Nayarit on Mexico’s Pacific coast.
Designed by Greg Norman, the golf course is known for its resort setting, wide fairways and views of the surrounding landscape. Its location near the Ameca River, with the Sierra Madre mountains providing a dramatic backdrop, makes it a distinctive venue on the PGA Tour calendar.
The 2026 event introduces a new course layout, adding another dimension to the competition. Players will need to adapt to the revised routing while managing course conditions, approach shots and putting under tournament pressure.
Prize Money and FedExCup Points On Offer?
The 2026 VidantaWorld Mexico Open offers a total purse of $6 million, with the tournament winner receiving $1.08 million and 500 FedExCup points.
The tournament follows a 72-hole stroke-play format. Players compete over four rounds, with a cut after the opening 36 holes for the leading 65 players and ties.
Who won the 2025 Mexico Open?
Brian Campbell won the 2025 edition, defeating Aldrich Potgieter in a playoff. He returns as the defending champion in 2026.
What is the layout of Vidanta Vallarta GC?
The course is a par 71 measuring 7,337 yards (6,709 metres). The 2026 routing features five par 3s, nine par 4s and four par 5s.
2026 will see a new course layout; Holes 18, 9, 1 and 10 are positioned in one area, improving spectator movement and television coverage.
The third, sixth and eighth holes offer opportunities to gain strokes, although the 637-yard sixth is a substantial challenge.
This 235-yard par 3 is designed to provide a compelling spectator experience as it is a stadium-style 17th.
The 455-yard par-4 18th has a landing area between two lakes, making accuracy off the tee especially important.
What will the weather conditions be like?
- Thursday: The main concern is showers and potential interruptions. Keep an eye on official tee-time updates.
- Friday to Sunday: Hot conditions and humidity may make hydration and stamina important.
- Wind: One golf preview expects relatively calm winds, which could help scoring, although local gusts may still affect club selection.
