Can Gary Woodland win the 2023 Mexico Open at Vidanta? Look at the golfer's odds
The PGA Tour heads south for the Mexico Open at Vidanta in Vallarta, which starts on Thursday, April 27. The player field at Vallarta is one of the weakest fields in recent memory. World No. 50 Alex Noren and the defending champion and current World No. 1 Jon Rahm are the only two top 50 players to feature in the 144-player field.
While the odds have Rahm as the favorite to win the Mexico Open, betting sites expect World No. 80 Gary Woodland to finish in the top 10 this year. Woodland is +3200 to win the event and +380 to finish in the top 10.
As per data analyst Ron Klos, Vidanta Vallarta is one of the longest courses on the PGA Tour and also has the longest combined par 4s and par 5s.
Woodland stands ninth in driving distance this season and has ended at T-4 in the Masters and T-31 at the RBC Heritage (T-31). He finished T-24 at the Mexico Open last year.
