It ranks as the 7th longest course on Tour. It is a unique track with five par-3s to go with four par-5s and only nine par-4s. While the par-3s are average in length, five of the par-4s are over 475 yards, and three of the par-5s are over 585 yards. I&#8217;m building a card around bombers this week with minimal rough, wide-open fairways and sticky Paspalum grass lining the course. Along with distance, I&#8217;m prioritizing SG: APP, emphasizing long irons, since 44% of the approach shots here last year came from more than 200 yards out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mexico Open Betting Preview: Who Will Shine at Vidanta Vallarta?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sAA55ZGRc7s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>For more course details, check out&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/PGASplits101\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ron&#8217;s<\/a>&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/betspertsgolf.com\/golf-betting\/the-mexico-open-at-vidanta-2024-preview\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">course preview<\/a>. It&#8217;s the best in the business, bar none. Here&#8217;s an important tidbit about Vidanta:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Vidanta Vallarta is a par-71 course that measures out to 7,456 yards. It ranks as the sixth-longest course on Tour. It is a unique track that has five par-3s to go with four par-5s and only nine par-4s. Unlike most resort courses, the first two years of this tournament have not resulted in a birdie-fest. Even though there isn&#8217;t much sample size, it ranks in the middle of the pack for scoring difficulty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Along with its monstrous length, the coastal winds appear to be one of the course&#8217;s most prominent defenses. With the Pacific coast just down the road, crosswinds are known to impact the course starting around 11 am on most days. Jon Rahm had this to say about the effects of the wind in 2022. &#8220;There&#8217;s a big difference between morning and afternoon. We had no wind for 13 or 14 holes, and it was very scorable. Once the wind starts going 20-30 miles an hour, this golf course starts showing some teeth. It&#8217;s long. You have a couple really long par 4s. 4 and 8 are straight into the wind. Both of them 500 yards. So you can start seeing higher scores out there.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Off the tee, players will be met with wide landing areas on fairways that are perfect for bombers who love to hit a ton of drivers. Almost 78% of drives were over 280 yards, which is one of the highest rates on Tour. Over the first two years, long hitters like Rahm, Finau, Cameron Champ, Joseph Bramlett, and Patrick Rodgers filled the top 10 of the leaderboard.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>With this being such a lengthy track, 42% of approaches have been from over 200 yards, which is the highest rate by a large margin from any Tour course. This second-shot length does lead to fewer quality scoring chances as the average proximity to the hole is almost 44 feet, which was the furthest distance on any course last year.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We have partnered with&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vividpicks.com\/promo\/betspertsgolf\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vivid Picks<\/a>&nbsp;to bring you an easy way to claim a FREE, no-strings-attached 2024 season at Betsperts Golf, plus a 100% deposit match up to $250!
