WGC-Mexico Championship

Best field of 2019 to date. Club de Golf Chapultepec a classical, old-style feel to it with its narrow, tree-lined fairways and small greens. Players have commented that it feels very much like a tight Spanish or Italian track in terms of its characteristics, however at over 7,000 feet of elevation the altitude adds another dimension to this week with balls flying anything between 10-20% further depending on the club used. So a 7,330 yardage in reality reads sub-6,500 yards. Eagles and Birdies are a therefore more than accessible.

Kikuyu fairways and rough is used throughout this track which isn't that common on the PGA Tour, however we do have recent events at Riviera last week and Torrey Pines that featured that type of set-up to potentially give us a clue as to how this might play out, particularly with the emphasis seeming to fall on short-game excellence.

Schauffele 28/1, Leishman 30/1, Fitzpatrick 80/1, Willett 150/1
