In the Power Rankings, compiled by Rob Bolton, several notable players stand out as potential contenders for the coveted title. Here's a rundown of some of the top-ranked players:
-
Tony Finau (USA) - Finau's remarkable track record at the Mexico Open speaks volumes. With a scoring average of 64.83 in his last six rounds, including a second-place finish and a win since the tournament's introduction in 2022, Finau is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with.
-
Nicolai Højgaard (DEN) - Højgaard's recent form is impressive, with 13 consecutive paydays worldwide, including a win and multiple top-three finishes. In his debut at the Mexico Open last year, he led the field in proximity, showcasing his prowess on the course.

Thorbjørn Olesen (DEN) - Equipped with a PGA TOUR card for the first time in a decade, Olesen arrives at the tournament fresh off a victory at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship. His red-hot form makes him a formidable competitor.
-
Emiliano Grillo (ARG) - Grillo's improved putting has been a highlight of his season so far, with four top-25 finishes in six starts. He has also performed well at Vidanta Vallarta in the past, with a consistent top-five finish last year.
