Mexico Open History
This will be just the second ever Mexico Open at Vidanta but golf has a long history in Mexico.
The Abierto Mexicano de Golf from the Club de Golf Chapultepec got it’s start way back in 1944. Since then, the tournament has been sanctioned by multiple governing bodies. This includes the Tour de Las Americas and most recently the PGA Tour LatinoAmerica from 2013 – 2021 before becoming an official PGA Tour event last season.
Mexico Open Past Winners
The Mexico Open isn’t a priority tournament for most of the Tour players which is clearly reflected in the list of past champions. Familiar PGA names like Lee Trevino and Stewart Cink have won the event in the past. And they’re two of seven players to have won Mexico’s longest standing event multiple times. Check out the last eight victors below.
