Mexico Open At VidantaWorld Prize Money Payout 2025

After the third of the PGA Tour’s signature events this season had an epic finish when Ludvig Aberg beat Maverick McNealy with 72nd hole birdie to claim the $4m Genesis Invitational first prize, another intriguing contest lies in wait with the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld.

However, unlike the Torrey Pines tournament, there is not nearly as much at stake at Vidanta Vallarta in financial terms, with an overall purse of less than half the $20m available at the previous event.

Instead, players will compete for a share of a $7m payout - the same figure that was offered at last year’s Shriners Children’s Open.

Despite that, there is still an attractive payout on offer for the winner, with the player who lifts the trophy on Sunday evening banking $1.26m - almost three times more than the $425,000 heading to the winner of the DP World Tour’s Magical Kenya Open.

Further down the leaderboard, the runner-up will earn $763,000, with a six-figure sum provisionally on offer for anyone finishing in the top 18. The winner will also receive 500 FedEx Cup points.

Below is the prize money payout for the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld.

Who Are The Star Names In The Mexico Open at VidantaWorld?

In the 2024 edition, Jake Knapp clinched his maiden PGA Tour title at the event, seeing off the challenge of Sami Valimaki, and he returns this week. He’s likely to be buoyed by his performance at the Genesis Invitational, too, when he finished a creditable 17^th at Torrey Pines. Valimaki is also in the field.

The highest-ranked player in the field is Aaron Rai, who is currently 29^th and looking for his first win since maiden PGA Tour title at the Wyndham Championship. Three other players in the world’s top 50 – Akshay Bhatia, Rasmus Hojgaard and Stephan Jaeger – compete too.

Other notable names taking part include European Ryder Cup hopefuls Matt Wallace, Paul Waring, Nicolai Hojgaard and Niklas Norgaard. Patrick Rodgers, who finished T3 at the Genesis Invitational, is also in the field, along with Michael Kim, who finished T2 at the WM Phoenix Open.
