Masters champion Jon Rahm headlines 2023 Mexico Open at Vidanta field

Jon Rahm is set to headline the 2023 Mexico Open at Vidanta field. The Masters champion will join Tony Finau at the PGA Tour event next week. The Spaniard will be returning to the Vidanta Vallarta in Mexico to defend his title.

The PGA Tour on Friday announced the field for the 2023 Mexico Open at Vidanta. Rahm stood out from the rest of the field, which only features him and World No.16 Finau from the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings. Apart from the duo, the Mexican championship event will feature names like Andrew Putnam, Wyndham Clark, Francesco Molinari and Gary Woodland, among others.

Interestingly, Rahm will return to the American circuit after taking the Zurich Classic week off. The Masters winner will be competing at the course, designed by Greg Norman, to win the Mexico Open for a fifth time.
