VidantaWorld Mexico Open – Top-5 picks
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 12:54 p.m. ET.
Wyndham Clark (+275)
Clark is the class of the field, coming into the week with three wins already this season. He played well at the Presidents Cup despite his record not necessarily reflecting that. He's third in the field in SG: tee-to-green over the last 3 months.
VidantaWorld Mexico Open: Best outright winner bets
Doug Ghim (+350)
Ghim has yet to finish worse than T-17 this fall season, with his best showing being a second-place finish at the Black Desert Championship. No one in the field has gained more strokes from tee to green over the last 3 months, which sets him up well at this course where ball-striking is important.
VidantaWorld Mexico Open – Top-10 picks
Harry Hall (+350)
Hall has come in the top-35 at this event in each of his 3 starts over the last 3 years, highlighted by a 10th-place finish in 2023. In his last start, he tied for 13th at the Bank of Utah Championship, which gives him some momentum heading to Mexico.
Kevin Roy (+400)
In his last 20 rounds, Roy ranks 11th in total strokes gained among players in the field, including 17th from tee to green. He's struggled with his short game but if he can make some putts this week, he could find himself in contention for a top-10.
VidantaWorld Mexico Open – Top-20 picks
Patrick Rodgers (+260)
Rodgers hasn't won here yet, but he has some of the best results of anyone at this course, finishing 10th, 10th, sixth and 25th in 4 starts. He's made the cut in both of his fall starts this year, but his form could be better, which is why it's safer to take him for a top-20.
Alejandro Tosti (+375)
Tosti has come in 10th at this event twice in the last 3 years, with a missed cut in the middle in 2024. He has missed 2 cuts in 3 starts this fall, but he did finish T-13 at the Black Desert Championship.
VidantaWorld Mexico Open – Matchups
Suggested play is golfer in bold.
Johnny Keefer (-125) vs. Blades Brown (+100)
Keefer has played great this season with 2 top-10 finishes in 3 starts and though this will be his course debut, it will be for Brown, as well.
Harry Hall (-118) vs. Jackson Suber (-105)
Hall is in good form and has strong course history, making him a solid choice for matchups this week.
VidantaWorld Mexico Open – Top Australian
Karl Vilips (-125)
Cam Davis (+125) and Aaron Baddeley (+850) are the only other Australians in the field, and neither is playing well. Davis just made his sixth cut of the season last week and finished in the top 25 for just the second time in 19 starts. Vilips finished T-39 in his only start of the fall last week.
VidantaWorld Mexico Open – First-round leader
Patrick Rodgers (+6000)
Rodgers has played great here in the past and was in the top 10 after the first round in 2022 and 2024, so he's gotten off to strong starts, as well.
